Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted iprutils into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and

hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

** Description changed:

+ [Justification]
+ The iprutils package is specific to IBM POWER servers. It is built for 
Ubuntu's powerpc and ppc64el architectures. However, the version in Ubuntu 
14.04 lacks full support for running on a little-endian host (ppc64el); and 
because powerpc is a 32-bit host OS its usage on IBM POWER servers is minimal. 
This is a hardware-enablement SRU to fix behavior of iprutils on ppc64el.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ Proper functioning of iprutils to be confirmed by IBM.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ The new upstream version of iprutils consists primarily of endianness fixes 
and build system changes, with a few minimal backwards-compatible feature 
additions. The current package is of minimal utility on powerpc and is known to 
work only partly on ppc64el. Risk of regression is negligible.
+ 
  Canonical,
  
  We would like to update the package iprutils to version 2.4.5 that is
  currently in vivid (15.04).
  
  This is the version in 15.04
