As written by Alex, you need fan_control=1 for thinkfan to work. postinst does not start thinkfan after a fresh install because of that, you seem to have enabled the service youself before configuring your environment properly. Please reconfigure and retry. I have downgraded this bug to normal, as the most I can see here is a possible improvement of documentation what has to be done for a working thinkfan setup.

Hi Your problem is most likely that your system either doesn't support fan control, or it has not been manually enabled (that's what the error message says after all). See also thinkfan's README.Debian reproduced below. thinkfan for Debian --- WARNING! thinkfan CAN kill your system and is thus disabled by default If you really want to enable thinkfan, adjust /etc/thinkfan.conf to your needs and set START=yes in /etc/default/thinkfan. If you are using systemd, use “systemctl enable thinkfan.service” — as is customary with systemd, thinkfan.service ignores /etc/default/thinkfan. Additionally, on ThinkPads, you need to load the thinkpad_acpi module with fan_control=1, or it will refuse to accept control from thinkfan. That's most easily done with a file /etc/modprobe.d/thinkfan.conf and the following entry in it: options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
