Bug#577822: cpufreqd: causes hardware damage by ignoring sensor lines after removing libsenors3
Package: cpufreqd Version: 2.4.1-1 Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: causes hardware damage Since no package on my system depends on libsensors3 I removed it. With it the file /etc/sensors.conf went away. This is a file cpufreqd requires to use for the sensors plugin. Without that file it will not trigger on temperature changes and possibly cause your hardware to overheat. A quick solution is to depend on libsensors3 as it provides the required file.

Would you mind describing what you're actually experiencing rather than an ipotetical (and quite unlinkely) situation? I can assume you're having problems with the sensors plugin from your submission... Also please, provide logs (running cpufreqd with -V7 generates a lot of useful output to trak down issues). A quick solution is to depend on libsensors3 as it provides the required file. cpufreqd depends on libsensors4, have you considered using /etc/sensors3.conf? I guess a possible issue here is that cpufreqd _requires_ a sensors config file while it's not really necessary to use one when initializing the library.. -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
