Package: libsensors4 Version: 1:3.0.0-5 Severity: normal This may be a problem in something in the Debian packaging system (ucf?) rather than libsensors itself; please reassign if appropriate.
Since the problem messes up installation it might warrant higher severity; however it is easy to work around. During an upgrade inside of aptitude running in a KDE Konsole as root, libsensors4 said that /etc/sensors3.conf had been locally modified. This itself was a bit odd, since I don't think I've touched it. It asked what I wanted to, and I selected side-by-side comparison and hit enter. (I tried this both with and without highlighting the OK button). The process named "frontend" then used all the CPU for awhile (15 seconds) and then CPU use went back down. All the while I was looking at the Konsole showing the upgrade log; the last lines were Setting up libsensors4 (1:3.0.0-5) ... udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/ Nothing happened as far as I could tell. I waited for a couple of minutes, and then hit control-C. At this point I got a message the installation of libsensors4 had failed, and the upgrade continued. When it got to the lm-sensors upgrade the process repeated (attempting to upgrade libsensors4, that is). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libsensors4 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsysfs2 2.1.0-2+b1 interface library to sysfs ii makedev 2.3.1-84 creates device files in /dev ii ucf 3.004 Update Configuration File: preserv ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages libsensors4 recommends: ii lm-sensors 1:3.0.0-5 utilities to read temperature/volt -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
