Public bug reported: I am trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 for ppc64le in a virtual machine. (The host is x86-64 running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). The install works, but on reboot when I attempt to install updates with 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade', the update command fails with a segmentation violation. It indicates that core is dumped but I don't see a core dump in my current directory. I will add a screenshot of the problem.
