Bug Description

Binary package hint: openipmi

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release: 10.04

apt-cache policy openipmi
openipmi:
  Installed: 2.0.16-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.0.16-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.16-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirror.monetra.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

(mirror.monetra.com is out local ubuntu mirror)

In /etc/init.d/openipmi, the path for the lock file is defined as LOCKFILE=/var/lock/subsys/ipmi, which is AFAIK rather redhatian. Also, the directory subsys does not exist in debian/ubuntu.

Proposed solution: change path to

LOCKFILE=/var/lock/ipmi

This bug was reported against Lucid, but the fix was released for Natty. I still have this problem on my Ubuntu 10.04.4 servers. Did I miss the Lucid update, or is the fix only available for Natty and later releases?
