hp-health install debian 7 weezy invoke-rc.d: initscript hp-health, action "start" failed. HP Proliant G4 DL380

Question

Trying to install the deb packages on a HP Proliant G4 DL380

Setting up hp-health (9.4.0.1.7-5.) ... Starting Proliant System Health Monitor (hpasmd): [ FAILED ]

invoke-rc.d: initscript hp-health, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing hp-health (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: hp-health E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The main problem now is that the fans are "screaming" I guess it is because it can't red health staus?

Any solution to install this deb package or any other solution to stop the fans from screaming?

No, hp-health version 9.1.0 does not but 8.7.0 does flawlessly on our 380G4. I just installed hp-health_8.7.0.1.2-5_amd64.deb out of the HP_ProLiant_Value_Add_Software-8.70-10-6.iso.

Works like a charm:

# cat /etc/debian_version 
7.7
# dpkg -l hp-health
ii  hp-health                    8.7.0.1.2-5         amd64
# hpasmcli -s "show temp"

Sensor   Location              Temp       Threshold
------   --------              ----       ---------
#1        PROCESSOR_ZONE       36C/96F    62C/143F 
#2        CPU#1                38C/100F   80C/176F 
#3        I/O_ZONE             38C/100F   60C/140F 
#4        CPU#2                 -          -       
#5        POWER_SUPPLY_BAY     31C/87F    53C/127F

The array tool hpacucli-9.40 just out of the MCP repository is fine.
