      Description of problem:
      exchange-bmc-os-info requires unknown ipmi.service

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      exchange-bmc-os-info-1.8.18-17.el8.noarch

      How reproducible:
      all the time:

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. dnf install exchange-bmc-os-info
      2. systemctl enable --now exchange-bmc-os-info
      3.

      Actual results:
      Failed to start exchange-bmc-os-info.service: Unit ipmi.service not found.

      Expected results:
      should start fine

      Additional info:

      $ systemctl cat exchange-bmc-os-info

      1. /usr/lib/systemd/system/exchange-bmc-os-info.service
        [Unit]
        Description=Exchange Information between BMC and OS
        After=ipmi.service network.target
        Requires=ipmi.service

      ~~

      I don't know what this ipmi.service is for (also there should be no dependency on the network). There is no suggestion/recommendation for this package and no man page. However removing the ipmi.service dependency seems to work fine.

      Is it possible to remove the ipmi.service dependency, or to document which package provides it? (if any)
