Description:
Upstream has been dead for 8 years, since 2012.
Here's the bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97446
Here's the patch: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=125967
This bug causes incorrect temperature readings on some SSDs, making it permanently display a reading of 99 degrees C.
This has wide ranging effects for most temperature monitoring software since this library is used to read disk temps.
Several other upstream bugs have been fixed with Arch downstream patches (#61998, and #25772), so I don't think this bug should be an exception.
Thank you!
