Description
Attempts to update drivedb from the default 'svn' source currently fail:
/usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb: /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.error: rejected by /usr/sbin/smartctl, probably no longer compatible
Comparing the downloaded .error file to the the previous version, I note the removal of "*/" to close a comment:
# diff -u /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.error

If I specify e.g. "-u github" to use a different download source, the drivedb.h file is currently OK.

Thanks for catching! Accidental deletion on 7.2 branch only. Will be fixed soon.
-u githubstill points to a branch of the old R/O mirror and no longer provides new versions.
