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. |

@Eric, what do you think about lm_sensors depending on rrdtools?
How can we break "lm_sensors > rrdtool > pango > cairo
> x11 libs"?
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?
