The real question is, why would you want to install lm_sensors. The
Thinkpad has no hardware supported by that package. If you were to install
lm_sensors, all you would learn were that it cannot find any sensor chip.

Temperature etc. are available via ACPI to userspace programs. The acpi
plugin for gkrellm works just fine.
