[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#795385: errors due to hddtemp dependency

[tony mancill]

Package: xfce4-sensors-plugin
Version: 1.2.6-1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #795385

Dear Maintainer,

Hi I'm not sure whether this information belongs with this bug report or
whether I should reopen 670046 [1] and 685832 [2], given that the setuid
dialog for hddtemp warning still occurs in stretch and buster.

I have also tried a local package build including the build-dep on
netcat, as suggested in #685832, but that doesn't change anything.
When I look at the upstream bug [3], it doesn't appear that the setuid
issue was fixed, only that the notification was changed to only occur
once.

Is there an option aside from setuid?  Or is there some debugging
information that I can provide to help track down the issue?  It's
trivially reproducible.

Thank you,
tony
