Here is another gotcha, updating this package failed because of a permission problem, here is the output from the console:

Then I got the luminous idea to try the same thing in a chroot:
So I ssh'ed into the hypervisor, went in the lxc directory, typed chroot . /bin/zsh
And then everything went fine.
