Smartmontools

[tomfowler]

New to Proxmox, but strange issue with installing the smartmontools package.

Here is the output of pveversion:

but when I try to install smartmontools, I get the following:

I ran the obligatory apt-get update before and after. It complains about not have a subscription for the proxmox repos.

I imagine I don't have the right repository referred, but this is a brand new installation of Proxmox, literally less than a week old...

Googling didn't provide any specific issues related to proxmox, just thought it was weird. All the major distros have smartmontools, and it appears earlier versions of proxmox did to.

Thanks,

Tom
