Upstream patch from CVS

This issue should also affect FC3

Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2005-09-01 17:38:11 UTC

Fixed in development version, other releases will follow soon.

Read ya, Phil

Comment 3 Dimitris 2005-11-07 09:21:16 UTC

Are there plans to release a new lm_sensors package? FC4 comes with version
2.8.8 which is nearly a year old. I think the current CVS release is 2.9.3.

Thank you.
