mythbackend startup error: libsensors.so.3 [solved]

I upgraded my system and now mythbackend won't start; it says it can't load libsensors.so.3; file not found

A search of the system shows that libsensors.so.3 does not exist, it appears to have been updated to libsensors.so.4

Where do I make the change (and what change do I make) to get mythbackend to use the new file?

I think mythbackend is part of the mythtv package ( you can run pacman -Qo $(which mythbackend) to verify that) - you'd need to rebuild it against the new package.

The lm_sensors API has been upgraded so a straight rebuild doesn't work - I've added a patch to the buglist:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8769?pro … r2=&sort2=

this corrects the source for the new API while maintaining the old code if built against the old API.

Another option (which was my solution for now...) is to downgrade lm_sensors back to the previous 2.10 version.

I followed the downgrade option for now; this weekend I may have time to play with it and install the new mythtv from testing which (I think) addresses this problem.
