Package: lm-sensors
Version: 1:3.6.0-7
Severity: normal
In lm-sensors.service, the sensors program is executed twice.
The second execution happens without the -s flag, causing
sensors to read all sensors and print the results to the
system log.
On a Dell Inspiron 3505 however, this results in a freeze for
~4 seconds during boot, caused by the second (and pointless)
execution of sensors coupled with very slow sensor reads.
In order to fix this issue, the second (and pointless) execution
of sensors should be omited.

No worry. Closing the bug with this mail.
