It might be that the option 3. I added reveals the real problem and the easiest fix, in ubuntu-system-settings.
** Description changed: This bug report is inspired by the problem vivid and xenial are seeing when executing ubuntuone-credentials tests. A regression is detected by the autopkgtest infrastructure: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac /autopkgtest-xenial-ci-train-ppa-service-landing-070/xenial/ppc64el/u /ubuntuone-credentials/20160812_085933@/log.gz This happens for ppc64el and s390x (powerpc does not have test infrastructure). The reason for the failure is a dependence on installing repowerd which does not have builds for these three architectures. The bug can be freely modified to address the issue at hand in the best way. Options include at least: 1. Have "stub" functionality in repowerd for these architectures. 2. Have ubuntu-system-settings (is it the only one?) depend on powerd (transitional package to repowerd) only on the four other architectures. + + 3. If the problem is u-s-s depending on "powerd" transitional package + (available on all architectures), switch the dependency to repowerd + instead. ** Description changed: This bug report is inspired by the problem vivid and xenial are seeing when executing ubuntuone-credentials tests.
