This is "sensors-detect", not "sensors". "make install" most probably did not fail to replace it. It installed it under /usr/local/sbin, and you must have an older version in *another* directory that is placed before /usr/local/sbin in your $PATH. This is certainly not something we want to check when installing, since it would be the case for almost anything we install, including manual pages. And it also affects just any other package, not just ours. We do such a check for our library however, because there have been much trouble reported on version conflicts here, and even without installing it in different place, you can easily fail to use the version you just installed. It is under the user's responsability to know what his/her $PATH contains and which binaries are installed in each of its constituents. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
