cpufreqd version 2.3.3 does not work with (lib)sensors version 3.1.2

[Nicolas Hüppelshäuser]

Binary package hint: cpufreqd

Installing cpufreqd version 2.3.3. from ubuntu package manager depends on libsensors 3.1.2(?).

However the cpufreqd sensors plugin does not work:

Having the line
>sensor=temp4_input:53-100
in cpufreqd.conf yields in the following error:

$ cpufreqd -DV7 | grep sensors

I was able to solve this problem by compiling cpufreqd 2.4.2. against libsensors4 from ubuntu repository after being hinted by Mattia Dongili that a newer version of cpufreqd might resolve that issue.

Hence I propose to include this or a newer version of cpufreqd into the ubuntu package repository instead of cpufreqd version 2.3.3 (and drop dependency to older version of libsensors).

Sorry, I did a copy-and-paste error. The line in the cpufreqd.conf file is of course this:
> sensor=temp4:53-100

Just to match the output of cpufreqd further down the text...

I had the same misunderstanding. My "sensors -u" was:
root@mf:~# sensors -u
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:
  temp2_input: 70.00
  temp2_max: 80.00
  temp2_crit: 100.00
  temp2_crit_alarm: 1.00
Core 1:
  temp3_input: 70.00
  temp3_max: 80.00
  temp3_crit: 100.00
  temp3_crit_alarm: 1.00

so the /etc/cpufreqd.conf should have:
sensor=Core 0:50-74

BTW, the bug should be closed as INVALID, shouldn't it?
