Description Herbert Poetzl 2023-08-24 15:33:05 CEST 
Description of problem:
Creating an LXC Mageia container is currently not possible, because the script which is supposed to do that does not work as intended.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0.4-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install lxc and lxc-templates
2. Run lxc-create -t mageia -n TEST
3. Watch it fail ...

Unfortunately replacing the basesystem-uml package with basesystem-minimal and the deprecated --no-suggests does not make it work either as it finally fails with:

lxc-create: TEST: ../src/lxc/confile.c: set_config_unsupported_key: 164 Invalid argument - Unsupported config key "lxc.utsname"
lxc-create: TEST: ../src/lxc/parse.c: lxc_file_for_each_line_mmap: 129 Failed to parse config file "/var/lib/lxc/TEST/config" at line "lxc.utsname = TEST"
lxc-create: TEST: ../src/lxc/tools/lxc_create.c: main: 317 Failed to create container TEST

This seems to be because the legacy keys are not longer supported in LXC 3.0

Thank you for your report.
> 3. Watch it fail ...
Can you please post the output...

Assigning this to DavidG who is the maintainer of this pkg.

Sure, here the output with the current lxc-templates package:
