Bug Description
[Justification]
The iprutils package is specific to IBM POWER servers. It is built for Ubuntu's powerpc and ppc64el architectures. However, the version in Ubuntu 14.04 lacks full support for running on a little-endian host (ppc64el); and because powerpc is a 32-bit host OS its usage on IBM POWER servers is minimal. This is a hardware-enablement SRU to fix behavior of iprutils on ppc64el.
[Test case]

[Regression potential]
The new upstream version of iprutils consists primarily of endianness fixes and build system changes, with a few minimal backwards-

This is the version in 15.04
