I tried installing it, but a dependency is missing from the daily snapshots

# opkg update
Downloading
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/packages/Packages.gz
.
Updated list of available packages in /var/opkg-lists/barrier_breaker.
# opkg install lm-sensors
Installing lm-sensors (3.3.5-1) to root...
Downloading
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/packages/lm-sensors_3.3.5-1_ar71xx.ipk
.
Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for
lm-sensors:
 *      sysfsutils *    sysfsutils *
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package lm-sensors.

On the RC3, the missing package is available. So if I upgrade to the RC, I
should be able to install lm-sensors and find out.

But, I will wait until a stable version comes out rather than keep chasing
RCs and Betas ...
