** Description changed: + [Impact] + + In Bionic and Xenial we have a manpage for update-smart-drivedb script + but it is not available. This script is quite important to users because + it allows them to update the file which contains information about + hardware, and this data is constantly updated, sometimes if it is not + updated you cannot support some specific hardware. + + The update-smart-drivedb script was removed in the past because of some + security concerns regarding the update process. After sometime it was + re-introduced because upstream implemented GPG verification support + (which is available in Focal). The proposed fix re-introduce the new + version of this script with a GPG verification support in Bionic and + Xenial. + + [Test Case] + + $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:bionic smartmontools-bionic + $ lxc shell smartmontools-bionic + # apt update && apt upgrade -y + # apt install -y smartmontools + # man update-smart-drivedb + # update-smart-drivedb + update-smart-drivedb: command not found + + The same applies to Xenial. + + [Regression Potential] + + The chance of a regression is minimal. This script was not available + previously. + + [Original Description] + manpage - manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/update-smart-drivedb.8.html + manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/update-smart-drivedb.8.html says - Provided by: smartmontools_6.4+svn4214-1_amd64 + Provided by: smartmontools_6.4+svn4214-1_amd64 but invoking it fails with - ~$ update-smart-drivedb - update-smart-drivedb: command not found + ~$ update-smart-drivedb + update-smart-drivedb: command not found
