Comment 14 for bug 435571

So, forgetting what the documentation says, looks like as we have 3 possible cases:

1. hwmonX contains directly the sensors data; hwmonX/device doesn't exist
2. hwmonX contains directly the sensors data; hwmonX/device exists but is irrelevant
3. hwmonX doesn't contain the sensors data, they are in hwmonX/device

Case 1 is covered by conky, either patched or unpatched
Case 2 would cause the unpatched conky to fail
Case 3 would cause the patched conky to fail

I can prepare a patch that covers all these cases but I can't guarantee that this will go in before karmic is released.
