[Bug 1830823] Re: Ubuntu image builds broken for powerpc on xenial

[Łukasz Zemczak]

In the meantime, as per Steve's valid recommendation, I'll make the
snapd build dependency for 1.7 in xenial optional for powerpc.

  Ubuntu image builds broken for powerpc on xenial

Bug description:
  livecd-rootfs is used to build our Ubuntu images and it depends on ubuntu-image.  With ubuntu-image 1.7 being published to xenial-updates the diff 
  shows that the versioned dependency on snapd was bumped to >= 2.38; which is not satisfiable on powerpc because snapd is not buildable on powerpc with gccgo (vs golang).

  This affects xenial cloud image builds.

  added a depends on ubuntu-image but that package is not available on
  xenial for powerpc.  So powerpc image builds are failing. :(
