update-smart-drivedb 6.2+svn3841-1.2, which is the current version in trusty (14.04), and 6.3+svn4002-2, which is the current version in wily (15.10), both work as long as you have the package ca-certificates installed along with either wget or lynx. If you have curl installed, update-smart-drivedb fails because curl is called without -L or --location. The reason is that update-smart-drivedb attempts to download http://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RELEASE_6_2_DRIVEDB/smartmontools/drivedb.h?format=raw which gets redirected to https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RELEASE_6_2_DRIVEDB/smartmontools/drivedb.h?format=raw which needs to be verified.
update-smart-drivedb 5.41+svn3365-1, which is the current version in precise (12.04), does not work. It attempts to download http://smartmontools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/smartmontools/branches/RELEASE_5_41_DRIVEDB/smartmontools/drivedb.h?revision=HEAD which is redirected to http://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/ which is redirected to https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/ which is redirected to https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/code/HEAD/tree/ which does not return a drivedb.h file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1209085 Title: update-smart-drivedb uses old download link To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools/+bug/1209085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
