Package: collectd-core Version: 5.12.0-7 Severity: minor Dear maintainer,
collectd-core suggests 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 privilege, as opposed to hddtemp which runs as a daemon or a setuid binary. collectd-core currently suggests hddtemp. However it also has a module using the libsensors5 library from lm-sensors, offering an easy transition. It also has a module that use libatasmart4 to provide an alternative way to read ATA drive temperatures. Therefore the fix is therefore to drop the hddtemp suggests. You might also want to stop building the hddtemp.so module. Note that suggests do not affected installability, so there is no urgency in doing so, but it should eventually be dropped.
