Hi,
I'm closing this bug, since there is not enough information to
investigate it further:
- the original report was solved by loading the IPMI kernel drivers
(ipmi_si, ipmi_devintf, ...);
- the request for more information from 2019 never got an answer, and
the reported version (1.4.5, from jessie) is about ten years old;
libfreeipmi has received many fixes since then.
If you can still reproduce the crash with the current version, please
reopen the bug and attach a backtrace, for example by running
ipmi-sensors under gdb with freeipmi-tools-dbgsym and
libfreeipmi17-dbgsym installed (or with debuginfod enabled), plus the
hardware model and whether the IPMI kernel drivers are loaded.
Regards,
Fabio
