Bug Description
This package is broken. The smartmon tools use commands which are no longer in 16.04.
Example:
/etc/smartmonto
#! /bin/sh
# Send message if /usr/lib/
[ -x /usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
S.M.A.R.T. message:
$SMARTD_MESSAGE"
/usr/lib/powersave does not exisat nor does powersave-notify exist anywhere in 16.04 even after powersave-notify is installed. I tried to edit the script to run /usr/bin/
/usr/share/
from gi.repository import Gtk
I think this is a bit scary. The user will get no warnings that his disk is failing due to this error.

Hi,
you are right that it is a bug, but if I understand the plumbing there correctly it is not that you get no notification at all.
It is just that "this notifier" is not working/existent and should be removed or adapted.
You for example still should get mails if mailing is set up to work through /usr/bin/mail
