Package: lm-sensors
Version: 1:3.5.0-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It does not seem possible to install both libsensors4 and libsensors5 as
"apt install libsensors5" will remove libsensors4. This is apparently due to
libsensors-config, which is marked as breaking and replacing libsensors4.
Alas, this package does not effectively replace libsensors4 since it no longer
provides libsensors.so.4. This has the side-effect of breaking collectd's
"sensors" plugin, which relies on libsensors.so.4:
$ dpkg -L collectd-core | grep sensors
/usr/lib/collectd/sensors.so
$ ldd /usr/lib/collectd/sensors.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe949f2000)
libsensors.so.4 => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc8b4c44000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc8b4e21000)
Another option is to remove libsensors5.. but doing so removes lxqt (through
lxqt-panel, which explicitly depends on libsensors5).
Is there a significant impediment preventing libsensors4 and libsensors5 from
living together on the same system?
