No problem, Colin. I fixed the description so it includes an 'executive
summary' in accordance with the instruction.
@Matthias: Any chance you can sponsor this?
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ In the focal build of smart-notifier, the important files were not
+ installed, and the resulting binary is useless. A backport as an SRU of
+ the groovy version fixes the issue.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Run the command:
+
+ ls /usr/share/smart-notifier -1
+
+ When fixed, it should output:
+
+ smart-notifier
+ smart_notifier
+ smart_notifier-0.28.egg-info
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Low... (It cannot be more useless than it currently is.)
+
+ [More details]

I installed this in a fresh install of Xubuntu 20.04.1 and, while it
installs, the file to which it links:
/usr/bin/smart-notifier -> ../share/smart-notifier/smart-notifier
does not exist, so it does not function at all!
