Package: libsensors4 Version: 1:3.4.0-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to tweak the lm_sensors configuration for my motherboard but the changes I made had no effect. It turns out the changes I was making to /etc/sensors.d/asus-z97a were overriden by the /etc/sensors.d/asus-z97a~ backup created by emacs. This is why packages that use .d directories either impose a specific extension, like '.conf', limit the set of characters that can go in the filename like exim4 (it only allows [[:alnum:]_-], see run_part() in update-exim4.conf), or explicitly ban *~ like sudo does: $ cat /etc/sudoers.d/README [...] # This will cause sudo to read and parse any files in the /etc/sudoers.d # directory that do not end in '~' or contain a '.' character. [...] So libsensors4 should adopt one of these policies too. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr:en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libsensors4:amd64 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11 libsensors4:amd64 recommends no packages.
