Bug Description
Hello,
When I try to install smartmontools and the smart-notifier with the Synaptic Package Manager, I get the following error:
E: smartmontools: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: smart-notifier: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Can anybody please confirm the installation error of smartmontools, or is it due because I am not using a clean system?
