This bug was reported in detail at https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool/issues/388 you can see that it impacts Dell, UCS and HPE servers at a minimum. There is a fix proposed on that github issue since 2023.

However github is now where this project code lives so i suspect it has been ignored.

I have juggled the patch over to codeberg and send a pull request here https://codeberg.org/IPMITool/ipmitool/pulls/50

This bug is affecting our servers so we are hoping that this fix can be applied to the freebsd port and we can unfreeze our packages. Hopefully it will eventually be merged upstream or fixed in a better way.

Lets give upstream a few days to review--it would be preferable to add patches that they've already adopted.

Looks like upstream aren't moving quickly. Several weeks have passed - perhaps the fix can be included now?

This exit code change has affected us since we installed the 1.8.19_2 package in October.

Our scripts that expected a zero exit code started failing on Dell servers.
