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

[Frédéric Bonnard]

Could you review the proposed patch based on the following :
some people recently ran into several issues on Minsky where they found that Opal PRD                                                                                                                                      
was not running out on customer systems. "This is critical to our ability to                                                         
collect logs, determine what is causing failures, and for hostboot to take
appropriate action in regards to a failure."

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

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
