An upcoming kernel change in sysfs directory link accounting is known to break
libsensors and thus all libsensors-based applications (including, but not
limited to, sensors and sensord.) This change is expected to hit upstream in
kernel 3.4. While we don't use this kernel in openSUSE 12.1, users are
sometimes asked to test more recent kernels to know if a specific issue is
still present there or not, so I think it would make sense to include the
upstream fix in openSUSE 11.2 so that they can continue doing so when needed.
