In the daily logwatch output is an error in the lm_sensors section: --------------------- lm_sensors output Begin ------------------------ nc: unable to connect to address 127.0.0.1, service 7634 [...] ---------------------- lm_sensors output End ------------------------- IMHO there is no need to install app-admin/hddtemp if sys-apps/smartmontools are installed. Instead sys-apps/logwatch should be installed without this line in /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/zz-lm_sensors if there is no app-admin/hddtemp installed, or - even better - provide a way to query /usr/sbin/smartctl for each configured hard disk in the system if and only if sys-apps/smartmontools is installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install sys-apps/logwatch 2. make sure app-admin/hddtemp is not installed 3. check the lm_sensors section of the daily mail # emerge --info

That's a single file causing a lot of new RDEPEND entries, expecting a daemon to listen on a certain port (and return a properly formatted reply). logwatch installs many other files. Do you want to address them all, or do you tweak logwatch to fit your system?

Do you want to address them all, or do > you tweak logwatch to fit your system? Actually IMHO this has to be fixed upstream. But i'd like to have my favored linux distribution taking care and work around upstreams design flaws... It's a little bit annoying to see this issue ~10x a day in status mails.
