This is because development has switched to lm_sensors 3.0.0 RC1. I
tried to rebuild the package but it won't build with the new lm_sensors
API. I informed upstream about it and they told me

What am I supposed to do in a case like this? Can we temporarily remove
the package from the development repo?
