Package: prometheus-node-exporter
Version: 0.17.0+ds-3
Severity: normal

We discovered that for hosts with ipmitool installed that the ipmitool text 
collector would emit an error and not populate the ipmi metrics file.  This 
appears to be due the "-n" flag in the shebang line being incompatible with 
mawk in the upstream "text_collector_examples/ipmitool" script.  A PR with 
upstream is pending: https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/pull/1269

If the patch is not accepted upstream, it seems a good candidate for Debian 
inclusion as the ipmitool collector is broken and unusable without manually 
modifying the script.

Thank you!
