[Bug 1253573] [NEW] [trusty regression] lxc-clone: failed to write /etc/hostname

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

The recent trusty lxc upload broke cloning:

$ sudo LANGUAGE= LANG= lxc-clone -n adttmp1 -o adt
/usr/share/lxc/hooks/ubuntu-cloud-prep: line 101: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/etc/hostname: No such file or directory
failed to write /etc/hostname
lxc_container: Script exited with status 1
lxc_container: Error executing clone hook for adttmp1
clone failed

When I downgrade to saucy's 1.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu14 things work again.

My "adt" container was created with saucy's lxc, but certainly newer
versions should work with already existing containers?

lxc-start-ephemeral continues to work fine.
