That's correct, and it detects the presence of the read-edid tools using: xdebconfigurator:74:chomp($getedid = `which get-edid`); # read-edid exists? I couldn't find any usage of read-edid's executables (get-edid or parse-edid) in lm-sensors. The only occurrence of the string "edid" at all... pwd /home/all/SourceCode/lm-sensors-3-3.0.2 grep -rni edid * debian/control:14:Suggests: sensord, read-edid, i2c-tools debian/changelog:776: * Suggests: read-edid (closes: bug#265890). prog/detect/sensors-detect:1212: # for SPD and EDID EEPROMs because some hardware monitoring chips prog/detect/sensors-detect:1218: name => "EDID EEPROM", ...is in the Debian changelog where it says: debian/changelog:776: * Suggests: read-edid (closes: bug#265890) Looking at that Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265890 it seems as if the only reason for the Suggests was because: "...decode-edid.pl is not present in the package..." The output of get-edid | parse-edid is the same as it ever was so packages relying on the output won't be affected. The only change is a gain in the availability of the tools on 64-bit installations. -- [needs-packaging} read-edid-2.0.0 for amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
