Note that ipmiutil is a package in universe.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Artur Molchanov (hexta)]

Debian built ipmiutil package (3.0.1-1) with workaround.

I am able to see this issue even with the latest Ubuntu 16.10 kernel.

The below level of ipmiutil is available in the Ubuntu 16.10 OS.

root@ltc-firep1:~# which ipmiutil
/usr/bin/ipmiutil
root@ltc-firep1:~# dpkg -S /usr/bin/ipmiutil
ipmiutil: /usr/bin/ipmiutil
root@ltc-firep1:~# dpkg --list | grep ipmiutil
iF ipmiutil 3.0.0-1 ppc64el IPMI management utilities

Is the ipmiutil package which Debian has built with workaround's are incorporated by Ubuntu for 16.10 OS release.

Will there be fixes provided in Ubuntu 16.10 OS.

Since 16.10 is EOL, I'm closing this bug down as WILL_NOT_FIX against that release. Please re-open if this is still an issue with the current release.
