Below error was encountered while upgrading Ubuntu:

Setting up lsvpd (1.7.5-0ubuntu2~14.04) ...
vpdupdate is not supported on the PowerKVM pSeries Guest
dpkg: error processing package lsvpd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ppc64-diag:
 ppc64-diag depends on lsvpd; however:
  Package lsvpd is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package ppc64-diag (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lsvpd
 ppc64-diag
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This patch fixes above configuration/unpacking issue by returning
exit status (1) only when error is encountered while unpacking.
This will allow Ubuntu to continue unpacking/configuring other
packages instead of halting the whole upgrading process.

Note: The patch is based on lsvpd-1.7.5-0ubuntu2~14.04
