Hi,

I hit this very old bug while doing some clearance.

Xenial reached EOSS (End of Standard Support) so I'm afraid it can't be fixed. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however, there appears to be no further action possible at this time because it's not a security bug.

On the other hand, I tried to see the smartmontools' behaviour on the current release. After installing, it deploys by default one single script (10mail) in /etc/smartmontools/run.d/ (I suppose to avoid issues like this report is). New scripts are installed from other packages there as it happens with smart-notifier (that creates 60smart-notifier when is installed).

For the comment above regarding smart-notifier, I saw this output too and there is a couple of bug reports already filed for this [bug #1673591, bug #1598896] for that different package. So please, feel free to continue there if you or anyone affected consider it necessary.
