   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   This update for sensors fixes the following issues:

   sensors was updated to version 3.5.0:

   The following changes were done:

   + soname was bumped due to commit dcf2367 which introduced an ABI change.
     (This was reverted for the SUSE packages, as it was not necessary)

   + Fixed disappearance of certain hwmon chips with 4.19+ kernels
     (bsc#1116021).
   + Add the find-driver script for debugging.
   + Various documentation and man page improvements.
   + Fix various issues found by Coverity Scan.
   + Updated links in documentation to reflect the new home of lm_sensors.
   + sensors.1: Add reference to sensors-detect and document -j option (json
     output).
   + sensors: Add support for json output, add support for power min, lcrit,
     min_alarm, lcrit_alarm.
   + sensors-detect changes:

     * Fix systemd paths.
     * Add detection of Fintek F81768.
     * Only probe I/O ports on x86.
     * Add detection of Nuvoton NCT6793D.
     * Add detection of Microchip MCP9808.
     * Mark F71868A as supported by the f71882fg driver.
     * Mark F81768D as supported by the f71882fg driver.
     * Mark F81866D as supported by the f71882fg driver.
     * Add detection of various ITE chips.
     * Add detection of Nuvoton NCT6795D.
     * Add detection of DDR4 SPD.
     * Add detection of ITE IT8987D.
     * Add detection of AMD Family 17h temperature sensors.
     * Add detection of AMD KERNCZ SMBus controller.
     * Add detection of various Intel SMBus controllers.
     * Add detection of Giantec GT30TS00.
     * Add detection of ONS CAT34TS02C and CAT34TS04.
     * Add detection of AMD Family 15h Model 60+ temperature sensors.
     * Add detection of Nuvoton NCT6796D.
     * Add detection of AMD Family 15h Model 70+ temperature sensors.

   + configs: Add sample configuration files.
   + sensors.conf.default:

     * Add hardwired inputs of NCT6795D
     * Add hardwired inputs of F71868A
     * Add hardwired NCT6796D inputs

   + vt1211_pwm: replaced deprecated sub shell syntax, run with bash instead
     of sh.
   + pwmconfig: replaced deprecated sub shell syntax.
   + fancontrol: replaced deprecated sub shell syntax, save
     original pwm values.
   + fancontrol.8: replaced deprecated sub shell syntax.
   + libsensors:

     * Add support for SENSORS_BUS_TYPE_SCSI, add support for power min,
       lcrit, min_alarm, lcrit_alarm.
     * Handle hwmon device with thermal device parent (bsc#1108468).

   - Undo unnecessary libsensors version bump.
   - Undo the SENSORS_API_VERSION change, to stay source-compatible with
     upstream.
