[Bug 651877] Re: package ibmasm-utils 3.0-1ubuntu9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Looking at the powerpc linux-image package (the equivalent provide the
ibmasm module on i386 and amd64 architectures) I can't find any support
for ibmasm in the kernel, i.e. no module for this architecture.

This would explain the error messages that you have seen during the
installation of ibmasm-utils.

The ibmasm module depends on a x86 architecture so is not supported by
the kernel on powerpc.

The ibmasm-utils package should be updated to reflect this dependency in
the underlying module as it currently supports 'any' architecture.

-- 
package ibmasm-utils should only support x86 based architectures
