  Following along the X-C1 fan documentation, specifically for Raspberry Pi OS, the following command is failing...

  sudo apt-get install -y python-smbus python3-smbus

  After is gets to "Reading State information... Done", I get the following...

  Package python-smbus is not available, but is referred to by another package.
  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted or
  is only available from another source
  
  E: Package 'python-smbus' has no installation candidate

  Can anybody advise on this? Do the instructions need updating?

  I'm running this on a Pi 4 Model B.

  @David Artiss Hi，

  You don't need to install 'python-smbus' in the new version, please ignore it. But it's needed to install'python-smbus' in the previous version, so we keep it.

  The error you received may be because the python-smbus package is missing from your repository or is not available for installation from standard sources. The package may be available from another source or installed in a different way.

  Having trouble with X-C1 fan software installation? Try running the installer as an administrator, ensure your antivirus isn’t blocking it, and check that your system meets the requirements. If the file seems corrupted, re-download it from the official site.
