Bug#827468: ipmitool: postinst unintentionally starts ipmievd.service
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.

Bug#827468: ipmitool: postinst unintentionally starts ipmievd.service
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.
