Adding targetcli also as it depends on lio-utils. It is my recommendation that both of these be removed from universe as it appears impossible to install either.

13:58 < infinity> chiluk: When packages are buggy, the usual thing to do is to fix them.
13:59 < infinity> chiluk: And given that your test case is precise, removal isn't an option anyway.

lio-utils was removed from wily two months ago.
