  Problem Description
  ===========================
  cpupower suggests installation of non-existent linux-cloud-tools-generic 
package

  Problem occurs on an IBM POWER 16.04 LTS system. Unknown whether it
  occurs on other architectures or later releases.

  When run _without package "linux-tools-$(uname -r)" installed_,
  cpupower will issue a complaint, suggesting to install (among others),
  some linux-cloud-tools-*-generic packages:

  $ cpupower
  WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 4.4.0-75

    You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
      linux-tools-4.4.0-75-generic
      linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-75-generic

    You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to 
date:
      linux-tools-generic
      linux-cloud-tools-generic

  However, those linux-cloud-tools-*-generic package appear not to exist
  --at least not in the default repos.

  Package linux-cloud-tools-common exists, but none of the *-generic
  packages are available:

  $ apt-cache policy "linux-cloud-*"
  $ cat xxx
  linux-cloud-tools-common:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 4.4.0-78.99
    Version table:

Packages

  
  The cpupower command works (at least doesn't give this complaint) if the 
appropriate linux-tools-$(uname -r) (perhaps via linux-tools-generic) is 
installed, so the cloud package is maybe not needed (as least for some 
functionality).

  I think the fix is to either: 
  a) supply the cloud packages for POWER, or 
  b) remove the non-existent packages from cpupower's complaint message.
   
  ---uname output---
  Linux fs3 4.4.0-75-generic #96-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:55:30 UTC 2017 
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
   
  Machine Type = Firestone 
   
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   Install linux-tools-common but NOT linux-tools-*-generic on a POWER 16.04 
LTS system, then run cpupower.

  Userspace rpm: linux-tools-common
