Bug Description

Apparently the installation script for freeipmi-ipmiseld doesn't create the /var/cache/ipmiseld directory and the daemon then give this error:

/usr/sbin/ipmiseld[24740]: Error creating SDR cache '/var/cache/ipmiseld//ipmiseldsdrcache.localhost': filename invalid

Thanks for the report.

Just by installing the package I cannot trigger this problem; it complains that it "cannot find inband device". I wonder what it would take to have a reproducer for this.

In any case, this looks like a valid bug. Since there is a known and easy workaround, I'm marking it as low priority for now. If we have any spare cycles, someone from the Ubuntu Server team will address this. Otherwise, when Debian fixes this issue we should get the fix as well.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for opening the bug. Since this is a very old bug, I am wondering if you're still facing the same problems in the recent versions of freeipmi? In case you do, please reply to this bug or open a new open.

Also, would it make sense to forward this patch upstream? Once done, it'll be picked from there automatically after the sync/merge from Debian.

I am marking this as "Incomplete", but once you provide the details mentioned above, please set the status to "New" again. Thank you!

Ugh, please ignore the above comment. It was meant for some other bug, not this one.

That said, I'm working on merging 1.6.6-3 from Debian to Ubuntu. Hopefully that should fix this. Thanks and sorry for the noise.
