Package: smartmontools Version: 6.3+svn4002-2+b2 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, Note the following error output: $ sudo update-smart-drivedb /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.error: rejected by /usr/sbin/smartctl, probably no longer compatible $ cat /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.error <html> <head> <title>302 Found</title> </head> <body> <h1>302 Found</h1> The resource was found at <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RELEASE_6_4_DRIVEDB/smartmontools/drivedb.h?format=raw";>https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RELEASE_6_4_DRIVEDB/smartmontools/drivedb.h?format=raw</a>; you should be redirected automatically. </body> </html> I have attached a patch to fix this, however the bug report has a comment mentioning that update-smart-drivedb is a security risk and has been dropped in releases above the current stable (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=824149#10). I am therefor requesting the feature either be fixed in stable (whichever patch works best) or it be removed from the stable package for being a security risk.
