libfreeipmi-dev appears to be missing a header file.

[Tim Mcmullan]

Release:
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04

Package information:
libfreeipmi-dev:
  Installed: 1.6.9-2ubuntu0.22.04.1
  Candidate: 1.6.9-2ubuntu0.22.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 1.6.9-2ubuntu0.22.04.1 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.6.9-2 500

I initially found this on Ubuntu 22.04 after updating freeipmi to 1.6.9-2ubuntu0.22.04.1 and trying to build slurm with freeipmi support. Configuring it failed because the test program wouldn't compile.

After taking a look at why, I found that freeipmi.h started to include "freeipmi/record-format/oem/ipmi-fru-xilinx-oem-record-format.h" with the latest update, but /usr/include/freeipmi/record-format/oem/ipmi-fru-xilinx-oem-record-format.h doesn't appear to exist with libfreeipmi-dev installed. A search with apt-file doesn't return any results for that file.

I took a quick look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeipmi/+bug/2019147, it seems like the file is supposed to be there and is in the debdiff, but the package appears to be missing the header.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide!

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your bug report. Indeed that's an issue on 22.04; the problem is resolved in the current version though, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeipmi/1.6.11-1

[Talha Can Havadar (tchavadar)]

Thank you very much for reporting the issue @Tim, I will create debdiffs for jammy, kinetic and lunar that includes the fix that @Fantu mentioned in #1

@Sebastien I have provided patches for all 3 series that this new xilinx oem data feature introduced. Do you need anything else from me?

[Tim Mcmullan (mcmult)]

Thank you very much for the quick help on this everyone!

[Jens Elkner (jelmd)]

Is there any ETA for the updated package? It e.g. blocks build slurm.... :((((
Or is there a way to re-install a previous, working version of this package?

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Seb is not subscribed to this bug (but the SRU team is). I've subscribed ubuntu-sponsors so that someone can pick this up for upload.

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

I'll grab the debdiffs and upload these within the next hour or two. (Late lunch first)

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

I've uploaded the Jammy debdiff, but for awareness tchavadar you need to include the close syntax for bugs in the debian changelogs: (LP: #2025177)

I've added this manually for the Jammy debdiff prior to upload. I'm uploading Kinetic and Lunar shortly. (I had some problems with my PGP keys and had to regen them oops).

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

Steve, Talha, et al:

I have uploaded all three package updates to the corresponding proposed queues for each release, and they are now in the queue. I am unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors as there is no more work needed here for Sponsors, and this is now in the hands of the SRU team.

I've was able to test the package in jammy-proposed (version 1.6.9-2ubuntu0.22.04.2).

The testing I did was:

* upgrade the package via apt
* stat /usr/include/freeipmi/record-format/oem/ipmi-fru-xilinx-oem-record-format.h to confirm it exists
* configured and built Slurm (master branch, commit 57089f9522) with the --with-freeipmi option.
* Tested that the Slurm acct_gather_energy/ipmi plugin is operational with the updated package.

[Tim Mcmullan (mcmult)]

Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that specific release.
