I just installed ipmiutil on a few machines and noticed the following in the dnf output: Running scriptlet: ipmiutil-3.0.5-3.fc27.x86_64 cp: cannot stat '%{scr_dir}/ipmi.init.basic': No such file or directory Indeed, it seems that the scriptlet sets the shell variable "scr_dir" but then on just one line references uses '%' instead of '$' and references '%{scr_dir}'. Of course, the spec doesn't define any macro %scr_dir and rpm leaves unexpandable macros unchanged.
Thanks for posting this. This typo has been corrected now in the upstream source and will be released with ipmiutil-3.0.8 shortly.
