It's not in Debian yet: https://packages.debian.org/sid/lm-sensors Gentoo have picked it but it is still in testing: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/lm_sensors You'll know better than I do about Fedora. For openSUSE, I have packaged lm-sensors 3.5.0 but with a patch reverting the undue soname change. I used "4.5.0" instead. I intend to carry this patch for as long as I have to. This goes against our policy of sticking to upstream as much as possible, but in this specific case, I consider it the least of 2 evils. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support
