Bug#917441: mate-sensors-applet: Please switch Build-Depends to libsensors-dev from libsensors4-dev
Source: mate-sensors-applet
Version: 1.20.2-1
Severity: wishlist
User: aurel32@debian.org
Usertags: libsensors-dev-transition
Dear maintainer,
mate-sensors-applet build-depends on libsensors4-dev, the development
package from lm-sensors. For historical reasons the development package
is versioned. Following the transition of the library to libsensors5,
it makes sense to rename the development package to libsensors-dev.
In that regard a "Provides: libsensors-dev" has been added. Given
mate-sensors-applet uses a non-versioned Build-Depends it is already
safe to transition your package to use libsensors-dev instead of
libsensors4-dev.
There is no urgency (yet) to do the change, but it would be nice if
you can piggyback that change in the next upload. It should just be
a matter of running:
sed -i -e 's/libsensors4-dev/libsensors-dev/g' debian/control
Thanks,
Aurelien
