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.

Title:
  smartmontools does not use current notifier

Status in smartmontools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in smartmontools source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  This package is broken. The smartmon tools use commands which are no
  longer in 16.04.

  Example:

  /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10powersave-notify

  #! /bin/sh

  # Send message if /usr/lib/powersave/powersave-notify exists or exit silently
  [ -x /usr/lib/powersave/powersave-notify ] || exit 0

  /usr/lib/powersave/powersave-notify "<b>Your hard disk drive is failing!</b>
  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/smart-notifier whichj does exist, but
  the script fails with

  
  /usr/share/smart-notifier/smart_notifier/gui.py:23: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
    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.
