reassign 786579 powerpc-ibm-utils
close 786579
thank you

Logan,

the package you are looking for is named powerpc-ibm-utils. The 1.2 powerpc-utils source found at sourceforge is an entirely new code base geared towards the IBM power architecture, while the 1.1 source (which is what the Debian powerpc-utils package is derived from) is for the old Mac/CHRP/etc. architectures. Unfortunate choice of duplicate package name upstream. I've had similar bug reports in the past - see 736404 for one.

Debian's powerpc-ibm-utils is at the correct source revision level, so I am closing this bug report, after reassigning to that package.

Thank you.

Regards,

   Michael Schmitz
