After the upgrade to v8 I'm getting alerts for "IANA PEN registry open failed: No such file or directory" for a IPMI script that runs on my host. I've seen a lot of talk about this bug, but I can't decipher the root cause, or a solution. If I understand correctly this has been patched, maybe there was a regression somewhere in the latest patch? One example report https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.bugs.dist/c/ukUAcfnm280.

The tool seems to run just fine, but I'm getting email spam from this error. At the least does anyone have any idea how to suppress this error from generating email alerts from cron?

I've disabled my script for now for my sanity o_O
 
It is fixed in Debian Experimental, you may try to download the package from there and install if by hand via:

Code: 
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ipmitool/ipmitool_1.8.19-5_amd64.deb
dpkg -i ipmitool_1.8.19-5_amd64.deb

EDIT: Newest Version as of 2024-04-05 is the one from Debian Testing (Trixie):

Code: 
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ipmitool/ipmitool_1.8.19-7_amd64.deb
dpkg -i ipmitool_1.8.19-7_amd64.deb

@LnxBil that seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your simple and complete instructions for patching that. It's very much appreciated.
 
If you don't want to wait for the patch to arrive in Debian Bookworm and don't want to install packages from Debian Experimental, you can also just download the missing file yourself:

Code: 
wget -O /usr/share/misc/enterprise-numbers.txt https://jff.email/cgit/ipmitool.git/plain/debian/enterprise-numbers.txt?h=debian/1.8.19-5

o.k., but what does this do, how is that enterprise-numbers.txt file used/applied?

Cheers,

That's another error and has nothing to do with the fix presented here.

yes :(

iLO/IPMI apparently gone due to some recent kernel updates?

It is possible, that the kernel modules got kicked out by the recent update?

Any ideas?

Thank you LnxBil,
thing is, I do not have physical access to the server, and with no iLO/IPMI I'd need to travel to the hosting facility to do that. Seems I will have to, if no other proposal/solution comes up :(
 
Have you tried the solution proposed by @LnxBil?

Code: 
wget -O /usr/share/misc/enterprise-numbers.txt https://jff.email/cgit/ipmitool.git/plain/debian/enterprise-numbers.txt?h=debian/1.8.19-5

link is dead, 1.8.19-6 doesn't work either, and I've tried downloading this file from http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers.txt, I still get the following

Code: 
root@sm1:/tmp# ipmitool user list
IPMI command failed: Invalid data field in request

anyone know of any other fixes?
 
What about other ipmitool commads? Maybe unrelated

What about this? Works for me:

Code: 
wget -O /usr/share/misc/enterprise-numbers.txt https://jff.email/cgit/ipmitool.git/plain/debian/enterprise-numbers.txt

Thanks that worked. A shame that it isn't fixed yet.
 
It's already fixed in trixie, yet not in bookworm and I don't think it'll ever will. There is no open bug report about it and it is probably not that important?

Code: 
wget -O /usr/share/misc/enterprise-numbers.txt https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers.txt

No reboot needed - Our script using impitool to control fans is back to silence

I did not want to use
Bash: 
... 2>/dev/null
to get all "real" error on impitool.

This instantly solved the issue for me. Thanks!
