Could a grep and strace make it work?! No... So apparently dpkg *did* install the newer lm-sensors 3 and libsensors4.. and now it works. LOL. This just shows my inexperience with Debian. (I know Red Hat based distros the best). Well I guess the issue is resolved now.. Not sure how this happened when it clearly looked like it failed dependencies..

Homepage: http://www.lm-sensors.org I had the older libsensors3 installed too but I just removed it. Sensors was generating some syntax reading errors on the old config file but i used sensors-conf-convert to fix that. I'm 100% back in business. Still not sure how that install went forward when I didn't actively force it.
