/share/smart-notifier/smart-notifier missing

[geole0]

Hello

I am a user who updates the documentation from time to time.

In the old French version of smartmontools, it was specified that the verification of the operation of the disk destruction alerts was possible to verify by making this command

 sudo sh -c 'echo test de message | smart-notifier --notify'

I have installed the application
sudo dpkg -l | grep smart-notifier
ii smart-notifier 0.28-5build1 all graphical hard disk health status notifier
a@a:~$

But

smart-notifier --notify

La commande « smart-notifier » n'a pas été trouvée, mais peut être installée avec :

sudo apt install smart-notifier

after researching a bit, I saw a broken link

a@a:~$ ls /usr/bin/smart-notifier
/usr/bin/smart-notifier
a@a:~$ ls -als /usr/bin/smart-notifier

I'm not sure I'm responsible for it. Thank you for your opinion.

The path which the symlink points to is:

/usr/share/smart-notifier/smart-notifier

and not:

/share/smart-notifier/smart-notifier

But with that said, the smart-notifier package in focal is indeed broken.
