Hi. I tried to install hp-smh-templates on my ubuntu 14.04 LTS server but I am getting the error message below.

Has anyone found a workaround for the issue?

For instance uninstalling the current packages and installing older versions? Maybe someone's done a fully manual installation from the repository, by downloading the .deb and not involving apt.

Does anyone got information on when to expect a fix for the issue from HP?

I'm not sure if this is because of the faulty hp-smh-templates package, but I cannot choose snmp as data source, so there are no items in smh. Is this also your experience?

I had the same issue and consequently no items in the SMH. I tried downloading the .deb and installing using dpkg not apt but had the same error. The trick is to force the overwrite:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite hp-smh-templates_9.5.0.1.2-4._all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

Then restart the smh:

sudo service hpsmhd restart

Cheers Dominic!

This workaround worked perfectly. All sensors are now showing in SMH. So until the packages are updated correctly, this is how to get around the issue.

Many thanks!
