Bug#1002644: RFS: freeipmi/1.6.8-2 -- GNU implementation of the IPMI protocol

[Fabio Fantoni <fantonifabio@tiscali.it>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "freeipmi":

 * Package name    : freeipmi
   Version         : 1.6.8-2
   Upstream Author : Albert Chu <chu11@llnl.gov>
 * URL             : https://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/
 * License         : GPL-3+
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/freeipmi
   Section         : admin

I tested it 2 weeks ago but I waited for minor issue about "conffile 
moved to another package marked obsolete", I not found a solution or 
workaround for now but is also a know issue, a bug was opened some years 
and seems considered minor 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886389), so I think 
can be uploaded to experimental instead still wait long time for a 
possible solution to this.

This build fix also a policy issue with shared libraries, even if was 
not opened an RC (fixed when I spotted it) and was introduced 10 years 
ago so I keeped it severity normal.
