Bug Description

This bug has been noticed due to bug #1494546 [1] occurring on a ThinkPad X1 with Ubuntu Xenial. I have installed the thinkfan package from the official Ubuntu Xenial repositories. APT package manager clearly shows:

$ apt-cache policy thinkfan
thinkfan:
  Installed: 0.9.2-1
  Candidate: 0.9.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.2-1 500
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

However, the buggy binary differs:

$ thinkfan -h
thinkfan 0.9.1: A minimalist fan control program
...

Related to bug #1494546, this package of thinkfan is completely unusable on my ThinkPad X1. I suggest to change the official repository version and either upgrade, either downgrade.
