Bug Description

Looking at the resource.pxu file in P-P-R I see the following:
# This is for bin/dmi_resource
unit: packaging meta-data
os-id: debian
Depends: dmidecode [!arm64 !armel !mips !mipsel !powerpc !ppc64el !s390x !alpha !hppa !m68k !mips64el !ppc64 !sh4 !sparc64]

which should mean that dmidecode is a dependency for any platform not listed here.

Looking at a power system running 5.8, the actual arch is ppc64le, not ppc64el. I think both are valid though.

Marked critical. this prevents installing cert tools on power (I wonder if the arch changes release to release, I'll have to dig into this. It worked before).
