   An update that has one recommended fix and contains one
   feature can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for smartmontools fixes the following issues:

   - Restart smartd and generate smartd_opts only if there are real sysconfig
     changes; do not trigger generate_smartd_opts by YaST, systemd is enough.
     (bsc#1195785)

   - Update smartmontools to the latest version from the upstream branch.
     (jsc#SLE-21751)
   -  Fix update needed logic.

   - update to 7.2 (jsc#SLE-21751):
     - smartctl: New option '--json=y[c]' selects YAML output.
     - smartctl '-i': Prints ATA TRIM and Zoned Device capabilities.
     - smartctl '-j': Fixed 'scsi_grown_defect_list' value.
     - smartctl '-a': Prints SCSI 'Accumulated power on time'.
     - smartctl '-n POWERMODE': SCSI support.
     - smartctl '-s standby,now' and '-s standby,off': SCSI support.
     - smartctl '-c': NVMe 1.4 additions.
     - smartd: Support for staggered self-tests.
     - smartd: No longer writes attribute log if no attributes were read due
       to standby mode or other error.
     - smartd: Now resolves symlinks before device names are checked for
       duplicates.
     - smartd: Fixed SMARTD_DEVICETYPE environment variable if DEVICESCAN is
       used without '-d TYPE'.
     - ATA: Device type '-d jmb39x-q,N' for JMB39x protocol variant used by
       some QNAP NAS devices.
     - ATA: Device type '-d jms56x,N' for JMS562 USB to SATA RAID bridges.
     - SCSI: Improved heuristics for log subpages of new and very old disks.
     - NVMe: Log transfer size limited to avoid device or kernel crashes.
     - NVMEe/USB: Device type '-d sntrealtek' for Realtek RTL9210 USB to NVMe
       bridges.
     - update-smart-drivedb: New option '--branch X.Y'.
     - HDD, SSD and USB additions to drive database.
     - Dropped support for pre-C99 snprintf().
     - configure: Dropped option '--without-working-snprintf'.
     - configure: Fixed '-fstack-protector*' detection.
     - Linux: Various fixes of smartd.service file (bsc#1183699).
     - Darwin: NVMe log support.
     - FreeBSD: Device scan does no longer include T_ENCLOSURE devices.
     - NetBSD: Fixed timeout handling.
     - NetBSD big endian: Fixed ATA register handling.
     - OpenBSD: Fixed timeout handling.
     - Windows: Dropped backward compatibility fixes for very old compilers.

   - Update to version 7.1:
     - smartctl: Fixed bogus exception on unknown form factor value.
     - smartctl '--json=cg': Suppresses extra spaces also in 'g' format.
     - smartctl '-i': ATA ACS-4 and ACS-5 enhancements.
     - smartd: No longer truncates very long device names in warning emails.
     - smartd: No longer skips scheduled tests if system clock has been
       adjusted to the past.
     - smartd '-A': Attribute logs now use local time instead of UTC.
     - Autodetection of '-d sntjmicron' type for JMicron USB to NVMe bridges.
     - Fixed segfault on CCISS transfer sizes.
     - Fixed smartd.service 'Type' if libsystemd-dev is not available.
     - Fixed '/dev/megaraid_sas_ioctl_node' fd leak.
