[CentOS-virt] "lxc-centos" container automation script

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello,

For me as a debianista who has need to run some software (Kolab) in the 
vendor(provider)-supported OS (CentOS), LXC is a godsend. However, lxc 
distributions I am aware of do not ship the "lxc-fedora" or "lxc-debian" 
equivalent to construct a container.
I have thus set out to modify the former (please find the result attached).

In the process of getting that to work yum/rpm presents me with the 
following errors:

Installing     : filesystem-2.4.30-3.el6.x86_64

  warning: %post(initscripts-9.03.38-1.el6.centos.2.x86_64) scriptlet 
failed, exit status 1

I was wondering whether anyone here could advise on how to circumvent these 
issues. Optimally I'd like to prevent them (which may not be feasible given 
the "chroot" nature of the install). How to fix this from within a running 
container would also be most welcome information  ...

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Joh
