Package: ipmiutil
Version: 2.9.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When installing ipmiutil, the configure step fails.

`systemctl status ipmi_port.service` shows

    Aug 21 15:39:08 medusa systemd[1]: ipmi_port.service: control process 
exited, code=exited status=6
    Aug 21 15:39:08 medusa systemd[1]: Failed to start ipmiutil ipmi_port 
service.
    Aug 21 15:39:08 medusa systemd[1]: Unit ipmi_port.service entered failed 
state.

The culprit is line 40 of /usr/share/ipmiutil/ipmiutil.setup (note IPORTMAP)

    dpc=`getpid dpcproxy`
    if [ "x${dpc}" != "x" ]
    then
       echo "dpcproxy is already running on port 623, so not needed."
       retval=6
    else
       # portmap may have been replaced by portreserve
       [ -x $IPORTMAP ] || exit 6
       retval=0
    fi

IPORTMAP is set in /usr/share/ipmiutil/ipmiutil.env

    IPORTMAP=/etc/init.d/portmap

/usr/share/ipmiutil/ipmiutil.setup is the only instance I could find of 
IPORTMAP being used.

portmap was replaced with rpcbind quite the while ago. I don't know if the fix 
is as simple as

    IPORTMAP=/etc/init.d/rpcbind

or if some wider integration needs to happen.
