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

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Please test d-i netboot installer 20101020ubuntu525 or later; or
tomorrow's server images with a timestamp of 1st of December or later.
It should resolve your issue. Please comment if your testing was
successful. Then we can look into cherry-picking this fix for xenial
upcoming point release too.

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

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  New
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.
