Description William Throwe 2017-02-25 15:46:22 UTC

From the message:

Starting from version lxc-1.1.0-r3, the default lxc path has been
moved from /etc/lxc to /var/lib/lxc. If you still want to use /etc/lxc
please add the following to your /etc/lxc/default.conf
lxc.lxcpath = /etc/lxc


But the correct file to edit is /etc/lxc/lxc.conf since only that one changes the output of lxc-config.

This looks very similar to bug 573116, but that was marked INVALID stating the issue was obsolete as of 2.0.1.  I don't have permission to reopen the old bug, but feel free to reopen that and mark this as a duplicate if that makes more sense.
