[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#670046: xfce4-sensors-plugin: hddtemp error launching xfce4sensors

[Cesare Leonardi]

Package: xfce4-sensors-plugin
Version: 1.2.3-3
Severity: normal

It is several month that i see the error i'm explaining here, but only
now i've found the time to report it.

Hddtemp is a recommended package and it's not installed in my system.
In my top panel i use the sensor plugin and on every login it display
two notification popup, as showed in attached image.
I can manually trigger the same errors doing one of the following
actions (that substantially launch the same program):
- double click on the plugin;
- launch xfce4-sensors from the command line, as i did to generate the
  attachment.

Since few days ago the popup error was single, for sda. Now it pops up
also for /dev/sdb that it is neither present on my system:
$ cat /proc/partitions 
major minor  #blocks  name

   8        0  156290904 sda
   8        1   12578863 sda1
   8        2  131074335 sda2
   8        3    1028160 sda3
   8        4   11608064 sda4
  11        0    1048575 sr0
$

I think that xfce4-sensors should check to see if hddtemp is available
or the latter has to become an xfce4-sensors' dependency. And i hope
for the first option.  ;-)

Cesare.
