  == Comment: # - VASANT HEGDE <hegdevasant at in.ibm.com> - ==
  We don't support snap on Ubuntu.. and it will be deprecated soon on other platform also.. 
  Instead you should use apport-config (?) from Ubuntu to collect debug info.. 
  But we should display a message saying this command is not supported..

  Patch has been posted to powerpc-utils mailing list.
