Package: xfce4-sensors-plugin Version: 1.4.2-1 Severity: minor Dear maintainer,
xfce4-sensors-plugin recommends 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 privileged, as opposed to hddtemp which runs as a daemon or a setuid binary. xfce4-sensors-plugin currently recommends hddtemp, and it also depends on the libsensor5 library from lm-sensors, offering an easy transition. The only thing to do is therefore to drop the hddtemp recommends. Note that recommends do not affected installability, so there is no urgency in doing so, but it should eventually be dropped.
