Description Stan Sander 2009-10-31 17:02:08 UTC 
With sensord use flag enabled, lm_sensors-3.1.1 will install /etc/conf.d/sensord and also the init script for sensord, but does not install /usr/sbin/sensord.  Also the init script should be updated to reflect the new configuration file of /etc/sensors3.conf.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge lm_sensors-3.1.1 with sensord use flag
2. try to start sensord
3.

Actual Results:  
sensord init script fails because /etc/sensors.conf does not exist.  Updating the init script manually to use /etc/sensors3.conf results in sensord fails to start because it is no longer on the system.  

Expected Results:  
/usr/sbin/sensord is on the system and the init script points to the correct conf file.

Masking lm_sensors-3.1.1 and using lm_sensors-3.0.3 results in a working /usr/sbin/sensord, but the init script still needs to be pointed at the correct file for it to actually work.

Same problem here. And i can confirm the posted solution works fine.
Comment 2 Rick Hewett 2009-11-28 17:09:04 UTC 
Kernel 2.6.31 went stable, and apparently needs lm_sensors 3.1.1, so this may be a little higher priority now...

The 1.2 version of the ebuild linked bug 244598 seems to install sensord.

Confirmed this is fixed.  emerge --sync; unmask lm_sensors-3.1.1 on my system; emerged lm_sensors-3.1.1 and all is well.  Thanks.
