openipmi adding to autoload fail

[Alex]

[Impact]

 * Attempting to set the openipmi service to autostart (or any other systemd manipulation of that service) results in:

/bin/systemctl enable openipmi
openipmi.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable openipmi
update-rc.d: error: openipmi Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.

  * The fix specifies the common default values for Default-Start and Default-Stop in the init-script.

[Test Case]

 * Install openipmi and execute `systemctl enable openipmi`. A successful execution indicates the issue has been fixed.

[Regression Potential]

 * Currently, the init-script provides no Default-Start or Default-Stop value. I believe the chance for regression by adding these is very low, as they are expected to be specified by systemd (at least).

I tried to add openipmi service to autostart and I've got following error:

/bin/systemctl enable openipmi
openipmi.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable openipmi
update-rc.d: error: openipmi Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.
echo $?
1

update-rc.d openipmi enable
update-rc.d: error: openipmi Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.

grep Default-Start /etc/init.d/openipmi
# Default-Start:

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04

apt-cache policy openipmi

Angle brackets and text inside changed manually while bug reporting.

After changing /etc/init.d/openipmi line above to
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
problem was solved.

I have reported this to Debian as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829037 and have also provided in the same bug the same debdiff. I'm currently pushing all of our 16.10 delta to Debian, and I'm hoping we might be able to sync openipmi in 16.10. If that is the case, then 16.10 will get the fix via that route (and presuming Debian accepts the same change, admittedly). At which point, we can SRU the attached debdiff to Xenial.

Hello Alexander, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openipmi into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openipmi/2.0.18-0ubuntu11.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
