Conflict between zfs-linux and s390-tools

[Stéphane Graber]

Not sure which of the two needs fixing, but there's a path conflict between zfs-linux and s390-tools which effectively prevents installing ZFS on s390x in cosmic.

Closing the zfs task as this will be fixed in s390-tools.

  * Temporarily disable ZFS tests on s390x due to conflict between
    zfsutils-linux and s390-tools (LP: #1788314)

however bionic was never affected, and cosmic has been long fixed....
