[Bug 1651111] Re: invoke-rc.d starts disabled systemd service if there are init scripts

[ChristianEhrhardt]

Directly from the install:
See "systemctl status ipmi_port.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript ipmi_port, action "start" failed.

I just checked the same applies to latest Debian and Ubuntu-Zesty.
Long term this clearly should be addressed in init-system-helpers as well.
Maybe for a faster solution of this particular case also an issue against ipmiutils?

Title:
  invoke-rc.d starts disabled systemd service if there are init scripts

Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ipmiutil package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ipmi-util failed to install on Ubuntu 16.10.
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmiutil/+bug/1639823

  invoke-rc.d from init-system-helpers 1.29ubuntu3 performs check
  services is not disabled. ipmi_port.service is disabled and as a
  result invoke-rc.d doesn't try to start it and installation completed
  successfully.

  invoke-rc.d from init-system-helpers 1.45 has more complicated check.
  If systemd service (ipmi_port.service) is not enabled but there are
  init.d scripts with the same name (/etc/rc2.d/S01ipmi_port
  /etc/rc3.d/S01ipmi_port /etc/rc4.d/S01ipmi_port
  /etc/rc5.d/S01ipmi_port) then invoke-rc.d starts service.
