That commit has been in xenial since October and is not the proximate cause of livecd-rootfs being uninstallable on powerpc. The timeline (breaking on the 23rd) DOES align with ubuntu-image 1.7 being published to xenial-updates. The diff of that ubuntu-image shows that the versioned dependency on snapd is bumped to be >= 2.38; which is not satisfiable on powerpc because snapd is not buildable on powerpc with gccgo (vs golang).
I believe this will be fixed in the next upload of snapd, which will make snapd an empty package on powerpc instead of failing to build. ** Package changed: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-image (Ubuntu) ** Package changed: ubuntu-image (Ubuntu) => snapd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830823 Title: livecd-rootfs xenial powerpc arch builds broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1830823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
