The above output is likely from OpenSUSE (see ticket #137).
According to smartmontools-5.40-24.4.src.rpm in OpenSUSE Factory Source Repository the version info was removed by smartmontools-nobuild-date.patch.

Thanks. And sorry for the noise.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

This should not happen when build from upstream source. Please check whether function utility.cpp:format_version_info() was changed by packager or provide a link to package source+patches.
