Hi,
Daniel Burrows a écrit :
Package: lm-sensors
Version: 1:2.9.2-4
Severity: normal
lm-sensors Recommends lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 | kernel-image-2.6;
as a result, users who install this package will get a random Provider of
lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 along with it (if this recommendation isn't already
satisfied). You should include a concrete alternative first; for instance,
Recommends: lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 (= ${Source-Version}) |
lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 | kernel-image-2.6
Well I don't see what will change if lm-sensors recommends
lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 as default, except some confusion to the users.
They will install it, and nothing will work.
Currently, here is what happens:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# apt-get install lm-sensors
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree... Done
| The following extra packages will be installed:
| libsensors3 ucf
| Suggested packages:
| lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 kernel-image-2.6 lm-sensors-source i2c-source
| sensord read-edid
...
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# apt-get install lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2

| Package lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 is a virtual package provided by:
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-k7-smp 1:2.9.2-4
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-k7 1:2.9.2-4
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-k6 1:2.9.2-4
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-686-smp 1:2.9.2-4
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-686 1:2.9.2-4
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-586tsc 1:2.9.2-4
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 1:2.9.2-4
| You should explicitly select one to install.
| E: Package lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 has no installation candidate
And the user installs the correct one.
With your suggestion:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# apt-get install lm-sensors
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree... Done
| The following extra packages will be installed:
| libsensors3 ucf
| Suggested packages:
| lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386 lm-sensors-mod-2.9.2 kernel-image-2.6
| lm-sensors-source i2c-source sensord read-edid
...
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# apt-get install lm-sensors-2.4.27-2-386
And this is the wrong package on this machine...
Bye,
Aurelien
