lm-sensors was updated recently for compatability with the 2.4.27
kernel update which had an ABI change (DSA 1503). Aurelien Jarno
discovered that this updated had a problem (#475164) that resulted in
missing binary modules. It is true that sarge is no longer security
supported, but since this was a regression caused by a security update
we went ahead and released the fix.

lm-sensors update for sarge

2008-05-26 Thread Vladislav Kurz
Hello all,

A few days ago I was surprised that there is an update for lm-sensors (and 
libsensors3) for sarge. It is available from security.debian.org. I know that 
sarge does not have any security support any more, and there was no DSA about 
lm-sensors this year. So I ask - does anyone know what is going on?
