Isn’t lm-sensors available anymore? I have it installed - but it’s only on “100 /var/lib/dpkg/status” now…  
Is it “dead”? And is there an alternative to lm-sensors?

Edit: Is available again, maybe repo was down for a short time?

As I’ve just installed a new CPU (which came with a relatively small cooler I’d like to monitor the CPU’s temperature constantly for a while but this widget [http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Thermal+Monitor?content=170354](http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Thermal+Monitor?content=170354) doesn’t offer to monitor my CPU’s temp (sensors of lm-sensors does show it). Is there another widget or graphical application that monitors the CPU temperature?

I found this one here aswell which works. Though I did not take a look into qml code if it is using lmsensors or something else. The widget itself offers no direct configuration option: [http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/CPU+temperature+meter?content=159200](http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/CPU+temperature+meter?content=159200)
