** Description changed:

- Ubuntu 20.04
- smokeping 2.7.3-2
+ The SRU template:
  
- A smokeping alert configured with "edgetrigger = yes" insists on sending
- email notifications when the alert condition is active. It should send
- only once.
+ [Impact]
  
- Bug is reported here upstream:
- https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/183#issuecomment-533722180
+  * User receives repeated notification e-mail when an alert is triggered
+    on an "Alert" with option edgetrigger = yes
  
- And fixed with this patch:
- 
https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/commit/e9004e8bbeb30d33778afaf70a5f8b95ff38d6ba
+  * backporting because broken smokeping edgetrigger option makes smokeping
+    useless in many scenarios
+ 
+  * the bug is fixed upstream
+      https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/183#issuecomment-533722180
+    and in Debian
+      https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934170#46
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Install smokeping, add an Alert with edgetrigger = yes and a target
+    which uses that Alert. Configure e-mail alerting.
+    Point that target to ping a powered on device.
+    Start smokeping, wait 10 minutes, power off or disconnect these
+    target device from the network.
+    You will receive an email with "raised" event, and then an
+    infinite sequence of email with "cleared" event at every
+    smokeping poll (5 minutes default).
+    A working option edgetrigger = yes should only send one email when
+    target is unreachable and one when is reachable again.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * none known
