Temp/Humidity sensor error after firmware upgrade

If your LiV Pi shows "-999" values for temperature and humidity after you upgraded firmware ("sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and reboot) here is the fix:
1) change name of directory "Adafruit_Python_DHT" to "OLD_Adafruit...." under "/home/pi/liv/livDB"
2) download latest version of Adafruit_Python_DHT from github: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT
3) copy new Adafruit directory under "/home/pi/liv/livDB"
4) run "sudo python setup.py install" in "/home/pi/liv/livDB/Adafruit_Python_DHT"

Wait until the new display cycle starts. No need to reboot.
