LXD - error: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type int64

Have successfully installed LXD on Ubuntu Server 15.10. However, tried running "lxc image list images:" without success - on two different clean server installations.

The error this command returns is:
"error: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type int64".

The getting started documentation is simple and clear - there isn't much to get wrong.

1. logged into server with non-root user.
2. ran "sudo apt-get update"
3. ran "sudo apt-get upgrade"
4. ran "sudo apt-get install lxd"
   successful LXD installation.
5. login/logout to refresh group membership.
6. ran "lxc remote add images images.linuxcontainers.org" (no sudo from this point onward).
   certificate was created successfully and was advised:
   "If this is your first run, you will need to import images using the 'lxd-images' script.
   For example: 'lxd-images import ubuntu --alias ubuntu'."
   - the advice in this return differed from the how-to and I took the return as authoritative, especially as my previous attempt following the how-to caused the error listed, as happened again in this procedure.
7. ran "lxd-images import ubuntu --alias ubuntu"
   successful download and validation of the GPG key for "http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com"
   successful connection and start of image download...
8. at this point I cancelled the download (ctrl-c), as I wanted to move on to see if either ubuntu core or coreos was available in the library.
9. ran "lxc image list images:" which resulted in the same error as on previous server:
   "error: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type int64".

It is strange that the image library cannot be viewed in a browser so that the right image can be found and its name typed directly into the CLI.

The inevitable conclusion is that either the how-to is missing something, or the technology isn't ready for the method described in the how-to. Has anyone encountered this problem? If you haven't, and you were immediately able to list available images, please feel free to share!

A fix for this issue has been to run the following sequence, which did not work for me:

1. run "sudo apt-get install lxc", returned 'lxc is already the newest version.'
2. run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", performed new installations and upgrades of linux-headers, linux-image, linux-signed-image files only.

Someone provided me with image names and aliases, so using "lxd-images import ubuntu xenial --alias ubuntu/xenial/amd64" I was able to download an image and create the first container. Everything else seems to be working.

Thanks everyone.
