The debian installation seems to be different. There is no
'/etc/init.d/ipmi'.
I have installed 'ipmitool'. This installs '/etc/init.d/ipmievd'.
But stopping this service does not change anything.

An uninstall of the 'openipmi' package wants to remove the dellomsa
package as well. It depends on 'openipmi'. If I remove dellomsa the
update package reclaims that there is no suitable device.

Stopping all ipmi driver before running the update package change
nothing on this behavior. The update package starts the ipmi driver
itself.

Do you have any other idea?
