@Eric: Yes, for the most part support for PPC has been dropped, and that does seem to also include a repo port even for 16.04, as when I try to upgrade my various PPC systems I get an "error" . . . and that may have "broken" the upgrade . . . . If you are in 32 bit PPC whatever you have might be it, besides doing "manual" upgrades, possibly synaptic might show you options for upgrading packages . . . .
If you are in 64 bit PPC then I believe that OpenSUSE still offers support for a PPC spin. Long live PPC . . . I think Debian has dropped PPC and so all the little PPC gnomes are slowly dying off . . . . U-MATE offered an alpha 17.04 for PPC by "mistake" . . . I found some issues with it, so I'm in various flavors of 16.04, except in an iMac it's still running 12.04, I tried to use Software Upgrade to boost it to 14.04 and hoping for 16.04 to avoid the fresh install revamp on xorg.conf and video driver snafu . . . terminal refuses to comply with my commands . . . .
