Comment 1 for bug 485899

I tried a couple things that didn't work.

I'm running Precise.

I downloaded the tarball of the latest version of lm_sensors - http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.5.tar.bz2
and ran pwmconfig directly from there (sudo bash prog/pwm/pwmconfig). No same results.

Then I downloaded lm-sensors from trusty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/lm-sensors/download
Installing it via dpkg -i gave me an error about a dependency for the uninstalled package init-system-helpers. So I forced it (which I do not recommend): dpkg --force-depends -i lm-sensors_3.3.4-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

That didn't work either. I'm pretty curious what's broken here. I'm starting to suspect that there's some other program the pwmconfig script uses that's somehow broken or missing in a way that's not being detected.
