Title:
  znetconf: Unexpected non-zero return code

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in s390-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 17.04
  Release:	17.04

  $ apt-cache policy s390-tools
  s390-tools:
    Installed: 1.37.0-0ubuntu3
    Candidate: 1.37.0-0ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 1.37.0-0ubuntu3 500
          500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports zesty/main s390x Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  When benign options such as --help or --version are passed to
  znetconf, on a system with no ccwgroup devices (i.e. /sys/bus/ccwgroup
  does not exist) the return code is non-zero. This is inconsistent
  behavior compared to other utilities shipped in the s390-tools package
  and a hindrance to dep8 autopkgtests tests. Please see LP bug 1616596
  for further discussion as to why this can be an impact. The unexpected
  return code is shown here:

  $ znetconf -v
  znetconf: Error: There are no ccwgroup devices
  $ echo $?
  31

  $ znetconf -h
  znetconf: Error: There are no ccwgroup devices
  $ echo $?
  31

  The expected result in the case of passing the -v and -h options is
  the installed version and help listing.
