Public bug reported:
I have an installation of Ubuntu 19.10 on my x86_64 system, and I want to
install a PowerPC little-endian Ubuntu 19.10 in a virtual machine managed by
virt-manager.
I installed qemu-system-ppc, and then set up the Ubuntu 19.10 ppc64le DVD image
to do the install.
Quite near the beginning of the install, the virtual machine gets 'illegal
instruction' errors.
This is due to a downlevel qemu-system-ppc; I have previously had the same
problem with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installed on an x86_64 system, and the problem
was solved there by bringing in the latest qemu-system-ppc from the upstream
qemu package.
Please fix for Ubuntu.
