The patched package I linked to in #163255 no longer fixes this issue
for me.  Plus, I got sick of having to uncheck liboil0.3 in the upgrade
manager.  So I've just now applied a filthy workaround: downgrade liboil
to version 0.3.9-1.2, then copy the actual library
/usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 into /tmp, then upgrade back to 0.3.12-1,
then overwrite /usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 with the copy from /tmp.

Hopefully this will keep things working until a real upgrade comes down
the pipe, and hopefully that upgrade will not be broken on pre-Altivec
G3s.

Commands used:

cd /tmp
wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libo/liboil/liboil0.3_0.3.9-1.2_powerpc.deb
sudo dpkg -i liboil0.3_0.3.9-1.2_powerpc.deb
cp /usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 .
sudo apt-get install liboil0.3
sudo cp liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib/
sudo reboot
