Failed to start foo/bar LXC.


The problem is in /usr/lib/systemd/system/lxc@.service. All occurences of %I need to be replaced with %i, then it works as expected.

(See also https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37755#comment116424:

[...] Your unit file is probably wrong and uses %I instead of %i for the User. Dashes are treated as escaped slashes, so using %I means it'll be unescaped to test/user, which doesn't exist (and yields the failure).
