Since snaps are not supported on powerpc, it also doesn't make sense to have an ubuntu-image package that depends on snapd on this architecture. It is still potentially interesting to have ubuntu-image available on all archs for the 'ubuntu-image classic' use case, so in terms of overall direction I think it's better to have ubuntu-image drop its dep on snapd on powerpc and NOT have livecd-rootfs drop its dep on ubuntu- image on powerpc, in addition to having snapd available again on powerpc as a dummy package.
It is very unlikely that we will ever SRU back to xenial any support for actual ubuntu-image classic images on powerpc, but just in case this would future-proof it. ** Also affects: snapd (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-image (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830823 Title: Ubuntu image builds broken for powerpc on xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1830823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
