Package: education-common Version: 2.12.4 Severity: minor Dear maintainer,
education-common recommends hddtemp which is going to be removed from the archive. hddtemp is a software from another age that will not be shipped with Debian Bookworm release [1]. However it could be easily replaced by the drivetemp kernel module (available since kernel 5.6) which uses the same hwmon interface as for NVME drives and other systems sensors and is supported by lm-sensors. It does not require any privileged, as opposed to hddtemp which runs as a daemon or a setuid binary. education-common currently recommends both hddtemp and lm-sensors, offering an easy transition. The only thing to do is therefore to drop the hddtemp recommends. Note that recommends do not affected installability, so there is no urgency in doing so, but it should eventually be dropped.
