Details

Description:
Since the sysstat 10.0.0-1 update, /usr/lib/sa/sadc is linked to libsensors.so.4, provided by the lm_sensors package, however that is listed only as an optional dependency for the sysstat package.

Because lm_sensors has heavy dependencies itself (rrdtool > pango > cairo > x11 libs), it is not really wanted on a server, where sysstat is often essential though.

Can this dependency be dropped again? Or somehow be made truly optional?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
/etc/cron.hourly/sysstat mails the following output:
/usr/lib/sa/sadc: error while loading shared libraries: libsensors.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade community/sysstat from 9.0.6.1-1 to 10.0.0-1.
This task depends upon

@Eric, what do you think about lm_sensors depending on rrdtools? How can we break "lm_sensors > rrdtool > pango > cairo > x11 libs"?
Comment by Sergej Pupykin (sergej) - Tuesday, 29 March 2011, 21:56 GMT
Split out lm_sensors-libs package from lm_sensors?

Or make rrdtool optdepend. Only /usr/sbin/sensord depends on it.

I'm fine with that.

I moved lm_sensors to depends and pass this bug to Eric

Please move this to project=1 (Arch Linux) before closing.

Please get this out already. Pulling in pango and friends via the rrdtool hard dependency for lm_sensors certainly doesn't feel or sound anywhere close to warranted.

It has been three weeks since the bug was reassigned. Any update on this?
