This is the only update in that PPA, so it's safe to just add it and upgrade your system.
I can't reproduce the crash myself, so I would like to get a confirmation from some of you that it works now.
Also, I would be very interested in learning how the invalid SMART data actually looks like. Could some of you please install the update, then do
sudo /usr/lib/devicekit-disks/devkit-disks-daemon --replace 2>&1 | tee /tmp/dkd.log
and then reproduce the situation which previously led to this crash? (I think that for some of you it happened each time when you plugged in a particular USB hard disk). I'm looking for a message like
Error decoding ATA SMART data: invalid base64 format: [...]
Once you got that, please attach /tmp/dkd.log here.
I backported the patch to the karmic package and built a test package in my PPA:
