What value are you expecting and what values are you getting?

if I change
  compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@
into
  compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*(@+0.12)

I expect the displayed voltage to be increased by (0.12*1.68) = 0.2 volts. This is a compensation for the voltage drop on the wiring of the motherboard. The very same formula performed correctly under Feisty (of course with a different version of libsensors und sensors.conf). In Hardy this change does not alter a single digit - nothing happens.

I actually do not know whether it is due to libsensors3, because it seems to evaluate the formula in sensors3.conf at least once during installation (if not the displayed values would be factor 1.68 to low). But libsensors3 does not seem to respect changes made later on, even not after reboot.
Maybe the initial/original values are compiled in?
Or a copy of the original is stored in a different place and not updatet?
