Had to make an edit to get the service to run properly about amdgpu-fan HOT 2 OPEN

// EDIT: Fixed by removing and rebuilding the package.

Not sure if these issues are related since files are in /usr/bin for me.

amdgpu-fan won't start anymore on up-to-date Arch Linux with recent python3 packages:

journalctl -u amdgpu-fan.service

systemd[1]: Started amdgpu fan controller.

from amdgpu-fan.

Thanks. Also an Arch urser. When updating Arch recently, this stopped working. Reinstalling fixed it, but makes me unsettled.

for reference

Presumably, this is a bug either in this project or in the AUR package.
