Dear Maintainer,

the command sdr will output false positives for failed Sensors.
This is repeatable by disconnecting fans or PSU from the motherboard during operation to simulate failures.
Turning off power to a PSU does not recreate the issue.
Removing the PSU entirely during operation is necessary.
Tested on Supermicro H13SSW.

The Output will read:
FAN1			| 0 RPM			| ok
PS1 Status		| 0x00			| ok
While both components have been removed from the system the status should not be 'ok'
Expected Status 'Critical' instead.
These false positives are highly misleading.

Hello Chris,

thank you for your efforts in creating the bug report. You are making Debian
better.

Since I do not have access to the hardware described, open a bug report on the
upstream. Please note the new homepage https://codeberg.org/IPMITool/ipmitool.
