Does psensor really depends on lm-sensor?
I'm using psensor from the unstable archive and your usage instruction says that I need to install lm-sensor and I haven't done that but psensor shows my cpu temp reading fine upon running, whether or not it's accurate I'm not sure.

Hello flint,
You need to install lm-sensors package in order to run the sensors-detect script which detects all supported sensors and setup the kernel modules.
At runtime, psensor doesn't need lm-sensors but libsensors4 which is automatically installed when you install the psensor package.
Your cpu appears because you already have the appropriate kernel module (coretemp for Intel chips) in /etc/modules.
Can you help with this problem?
