I'm not sure exactly how the liblxc.a static lib was dropped, but the attached debdiff resolves this by not removing all .a files (an extra find|rm is around a comment about removing all .la files) and then adding the file to lxc-dev.install
This produces a lxc-dev deb which includes the static lib. ** Patch added: "debdiff with fix applied" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/2080069/+attachment/5814914/+files/lxc-fix-lxc-dev-missing-liblxc-dot-a.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080069 Title: lxc-dev does not provide liblxc.a any more Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lxc source package in Noble: Confirmed Bug description: 1) # lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
