[Bug 1784354] Re: I cant upgrade Ubuntu mate 16.04.5 to 18.10 in my PowerMac G5

[Adam Conrad]

Big-endian PowerPC support was dropped after 16.10.  There is no upgrade
path from 16.04.5, however it will be supported for another ~3 years.

If this bug is about update-notifier telling you there's an upgrade when
there isn't one, that's entirely valid and should be looked at...
