Bug Description

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 0.7.5-3ubuntu30

---------------
lxc (0.7.5-3ubuntu30) precise; urgency=low

  [ Serge Hallyn ]
  * 0048-warn-if-container-started: If container startup fails because the
    container is already running, give an error message to that effect.
    (LP: #938765)

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * 0049-ubuntu-template-sudo-and-cleanup: Always make the user part of the
    sudo group. This group has been around since at least 10.04 and is more
    reliable than the admin group. Still add the user to the admin group
    until 12.04 as some tool expect that. (LP: #938752)
    Also fix a minor layout issue in the generate LXC config.
