[Bug 1555904] Re: opal-prd not installed by default on ppc64el systems

[Jeremy Kerr]

Just attempted with bionic 20101020ubuntu525 netboot installer. However,
this build fails to install on my machine:

  │   │                       Debootstrap warning                        │  │
  │   │ Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg-deb -f       │  │
  │   │ /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.19.0.4ubuntu1_ppc64el.deb Version │  │


syslog tells me:

  Dec 11 08:58:46 debootstrap: chroot: can't execute 'dpkg-deb': No such
file or directory

I can't run anything under /target:

  ~ # chroot /target /bin/bash
  chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory
  ~ # ls -l /target/bin/bash
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       1544376 May 17  2017 /target/bin/bash

Looks like that build has an invalid dynamic linker path, or the
installer hasn't provided the requested linker yet:

  bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version
1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld64.so.2, for
GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=8b1909e1534e08ac77ea8f8f1c8a120c6d02d631,
stripped

  ~ # ls -al /target/lib64/
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          4096 Oct 11 20:21 .
  drwxr-xr-x   20 root     root          4096 May 23  2017 ..

(I do see a suitable linker under /target/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/
though)

Title:
  opal-prd not installed by default on ppc64el systems

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  Fix Released
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in hw-detect package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Just tried an install with current 16.04 network media, using standard
  server package selections, and it looks like opal-prd isn't installed
  by default:

   [jk at fstn ~]$ dpkg -l opal-prd
   dpkg-query: no packages found matching opal-prd

  This is required for RAS-type functions on OpenPOWER machines; and has
  a similar role to something like acpid, on x86.

  I'm not sure whether filing this against the skiboot package is best,
  or whether this should be moved to something installer-related. Happy
  to shift if necessary.
