It should probably tell you to run sensors-detect first or write your own /etc/sensors.conf. The script already checks for the presence of /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors and provides a useful suggestion as well: "/etc/conf.d/lm_sensors does not exist, try running sensors-detect"
/etc/sensors.conf is provided by old lm_sensors packages. newer packages provide /etc/sensors3.conf. your init script still references /etc/sensors.conf, but your init script still references /etc/sensors.conf. as the init script provided by lm_sensors-3.1.1 does not reference /etc/sensors.conf but /etc/sensors3.conf, this must mean that you didnt update your /etc/init.d/lm_sensors file. run $ sudo etc-update please reopen if problem persists. thanks
