Package: ipmitool
Version: 1.8.14-4
Hi maintainer,
When I install the ipmitool package on Jessie (either 1.8.14-4 from
stable, or a local backport of 1.8.17-1 to Jessie), the ipmievd.service
systemd unit starts up, even though the packaging implies the intention is
that it should not start up unless explicitly enabled. I think what's
happening is that the package writes out an /etc/default/ipmievd that's
supposed to disable the initscript, but on a machine where init is
systemd, `invoke-rc.d ipmievd start` runs the systemd unit, which doesn't
look at /etc/default/ipmievd.
Since the systemd unit is not explicitly enabled, after a reboot, ipmievd
isn't running. So this looks like unintentional behavior.
I'm not sure what the right fix for this is. `dh_installinit --no-start`
definitely solves the problem on systems where systemd is init, but maybe
you want to restart ipmievd for systems that have it enabled and are using
sysvinit as init.
Thanks,

fixed 827468 ipmitool/1.8.15-1
thanks
Hello Geoffrey,
thank you for spending your time helping to make Debian better with
this bug report.
The bug is fixed since ipmitool 1.8.15-1:
* debian/rules:
- Add override_dh_systemd_enable to disable start after a fresh install.
I disable it only on a fresh install. At upgrade I don't change the
enable status.
With systemd /etc/default/ipmievd is not used:
#
# To enable ipmievd set ENABLED="true" for sysvinit (ignored by systemd)
#
I think (ignored by systemd) is clear enough.
At systems with systemd init you must use for enable/disable the start
at boot
systemctl [enable|disable] ipmievd
I close this bug now.
CU
Jörg
