My solution is - 
sudo rm -vrf /var/lib/smart/packages/*   (before running smart upgrade)
smart upgrade --download
sudo rpm -Uvh --force /var/lib/smart/packages/*.rpm   (if you have too 
many for rpm to swallow at once, do it in chunks and use --nodeps)

Yes, I'm saying it won't do much harm to force the bastard.

The bug's been known about for ages - smart just needs a --force switch to 
pass on to rpm then the problem is solved IMO.
