Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 Can not install module-init-tools package

Status in module-init-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in util-vserver package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  To be able to build an external third-party package, the package has dependency on module-init-tools. 
  With 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-9-generic #24-Ubuntu when trying to install module-init-tools I get this
  root at powerio-le14:~# apt-get install module-init-tools
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   module-init-tools : Depends: libkmod2 (= 21-1ubuntu1) but 22-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
  dpkg --list | grep libkmod2
  ii  libkmod2:ppc64el                  22-1ubuntu1                     ppc64el      libkmod shared library

  I tried also to force the module-init-tools package but then any apt-get check  call will fail. 
  If I try to remove libkmod2 then it will say it will remove kernel files, etc so that sound a little risky.
