Stefan - the init.d script you provided fixes the package install on ppc64el Xenial! See full apt install log attached. Excerpt:
Adding group `libvirtd' (GID 119) ... Done. * Starting libvirt logging daemon virtlogd [ OK ] * Starting libvirt locking daemon virtlockd [ OK ] libvirt-bin start/running, process 9713 Setting up libvirt-bin dnsmasq configuration. Thank you for working on this and for timely response! A new release with the fix would be greatly appreciated :) This bug brought up the fact that there are differences between package install code paths for x86 and ppc64. Should that be a concern at this stage before 16.04 is out? We could investigate this further. ** Attachment added: "libvirt-bin.xenial-ppc64el.install.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1547208/+attachment/4580838/+files/libvirt-bin.xenial-ppc64el.install.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547208 Title: package libvirt-bin=1.3.1-1ubuntu1 fails to install due to new virtlockd initd script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1547208/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
