Please familiarise yourself with launchpad and Ubuntu bug tracking process, and specifically bugs that affect multiple releases and multiple packages.

s390-tools, which has zipl component is fixed released in Yakkety Yak (development series to become 16.10) which means zipl there is now fixed.

This bug is marked as affecting debian-installer, that is installer needs to be rebuild to include the updated s390-tools package. Once this is done, there will be another message saying that this is fix released for the debian-installer for the Yakkety Yak development series.

Thus bug is marked as affeecting xenial series too, which is 16.04 LTS stable. This means that the affected packages will have to follow through Stable Release Updates procedure to backport these fixes into 16.04 series.

Yes, ports.ubuntu.com is updated -> it has the new s390-tools package, for yakkety/ and devel/ series. But that's only one out of four updates that need to be built and published. A more user-friendly website to look up packages per series is http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=s390-tools
