smartmontools installs *.pyc and *.pyo files in /usr/sbin, they're not needed for an executable script; they're just created by brp-python-bytecompile due to bug 182498. Workaround attached - the "touch" part is not needed in usual Fedora build configurations but will make the package compile on setups where automatic python byte compilation doesn't occur.
Created attachment 155463 [details] Don't include byte-compiled /usr/sbin/smartd-conf.py[co]
You're right. Thanks for the patch.
smartmontools-5.37-3.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
