[Bug 1529590] Re: Ubuntu16.04: hvcsadmin command is not working

[Steve Langasek]

looks to be resolvable with the addition of a dependency on sysfsutils
to the powerpc-ibm-utils package.

** Package changed: powerpc-utils (Ubuntu) => powerpc-ibm-utils (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: powerpc-ibm-utils (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

Title:
  Ubuntu16.04: hvcsadmin command is not working

Status in powerpc-ibm-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Problem Description
  ========================
  I installed Ubuntu16.04 on PowerVM system and try to run hvcsadmin (hypervisor virtual console server administration utility) command but it seems me broken .

  Step to reproduce
  =======================
  1- Install  Ubuntu16.04 on PowerVM
  2- Install powerpc-utils  in the system 
  3- run hvcsadmin  utility

  Expected Result:

  it should work on PowerVM environment

  Actual Result:

  Fails to run complain about systool .

  LOG:

  root at system:~# hvcsadmin -all
  Can't exec "systool": No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/hvcsadmin line 259.
  systool:  No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/hvcsadmin line 259.
  root at system:~# hvcsadmin -noisy
  Can't exec "systool": No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/hvcsadmin line 259.
  systool:  No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/hvcsadmin line 259.
  root at system:~# rpm -qa | grep hvcsadmin
  The program 'rpm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
  apt-get install rpm
  root at system:~# dpkg -l | grep  powerpc-utils 
  ii  powerpc-utils                     1.2.18+r1.1.3-24ubuntu1         ppc64el      Various utilities for Linux/PowerPC
  root at system:~#

  Note : If i install libsysfs2 sysfsutils packages than it seems me
  working so i think when we install powerpc-utils  it should have
  dependencies about sysfsutils.
