IPMIUTIL install error

While installing IPMITOOL I encountered this error:

Errors were encountered while processing:

Re: IPMIUTIL install error

I know nothing about IPMI, but putting the "Cannot open..." error message into a search engine suggests it might be related to missing kernel modules.

Running Devuan Stable (I don't use release names anymore, this way I'm always on the Stable branch)

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged stable main non-free contrib

That is against the recommendations:

Avoid using stable in your sources.list as that results in nasty surprises and broken systems when the next release is made; upgrading to a new release should be a deliberate, careful action and editing a file once every two years is not a burden.

Re: IPMIUTIL install error

And you should avoid using pkgmaster, use deb.devuan.org.
