There is still the Alpha4 version of YaST/zypp on your system, which is
very old.

You can't reasonably install smart from Factory now because it is a
Python application and Python has been upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5. You
would have to replace *all* Python packages manually.
Same for yum. *If* you're going to try smart, you need the smart build
from the original Alpha4 media, not from Factory.

First, you need an apt package that understands the "repomd" format (in
Factory there is still a version which doesn't support repomd and not a
single apt user requested to change this, why?), and then you need a
line like this in /etc/apt/sources.list:
repomd http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution
SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse
(the above is all one line, the whitespace in the middle of the URL is
not an error)
You can find a repomd-enabled build of apt here:
http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/rbos
It seems that there are no packages for Factory. But the ones built for
10.1 should probably work. You need "apt" and "apt-libs", both in
exactly the same version.

Configuring smart for Factory is not different from the generic
configuration. Create a file named "factory.channel" on your Desktop
with the content
[factory]
type = yast2
name = Factory
baseurl =
http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source
and import it using the command
smart channel --add $HOME/Desktop/factory.channel
Of course you can use a different mirror.
Otherwise I recommend calming down and not getting too frustrated on this.
