This would have the nasty side effect of creating a time bomb: Next time
there was a KDE update, you'd end up with a dangerous sensors-detect
again. Does rpm have the 'provides' and 'conflicts' fields, (cf deb) ?
If so, you could inserta dummy package that would keep sensors-detect
from being installed, but keep the dependency checker happy.
