Dear community,

I launched to apt-get dist-upgrade and I received this email but I don't understand what I need to do ? Could you help me to solve this problem please ?

smartmontools (6.4+svn4214-1) unstable; urgency=medium

Previous versions of the smartmontools package included a tool
update-smart-drivedb which downloaded updated drive definitions
from the smartmontools website and stored them at

/var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h

This tool did not download the definitions in a secure manner and
so the feature has been removed in this version. Future drive DB
updates will be propagated via normal Debian package updates,
including backports.

If you already have a drivedb.h file at that location, smartctl
will continue to use it.
