you asked in Bug 445852 if this might be a duplicate of that bug; try
the workaround listed in comment 136
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/445852/comments/136 (though
there's a typo) -- here it is, corrected:

1) Run the following command. It renames the existing file to devkit-
disks-probe-ata-smart.bak and tells the package manager to install any
new updates to the _changed_ file name:

$ sudo dpkg-divert --divert --add --rename --divert /lib/udev/devkit-
disks-probe-ata-smart.bak /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart

If you want to see your new divert (and others in the system):

$ sudo dpkg-divert --list

2) Now create a dummy file using nano (substitute gedit or another
editor for nano if you prefer).

$ sudo nano /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart

Type the following three lines into the file then save it and exit the
editor:

#!/bin/bash
#
exit 0


3) Make the new dummy file executable so udev can run it:

$ sudo chmod 755 /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart


-----

If this workaround does not change your problem (or when the bug in
libatasmart gets fixed) you will want to remove the dummy file and the
divert entry by executing these two commands:

$ sudo rm /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart
$ sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /lib/udev/devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart
