Smart stuff

Hello SuSE people,
Am running 10.0 on an AMD64 bit system and the very latest smart.
I have since SuSE 8.0 used apt to update my system. I loved it. Fast accurate
and no problems. Even upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2 using apt. Since apt can't do
KDE anymore I had to switch from apt to smart. Smart is not really that
smart (maybe some day soon) but is still the best alternative out there for
upgrading and maintaining your current distro.
Anyway, here is my really weird problem. When I installed Smart, I downloaded
all of the packages which included smart-addons and installed them all. This
is for 10.0 mind you.
When I try to upgrade the system smart goes and looks at10.1 packages in
Packman, and of course, it fails. Here is an excerpt/example from a portion
of the message that is produced:
Fetching packages...
-> http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/.../libxml++-2.14.0-1.guru.suse100.x86_64.rpm
-> http://packman.inode.at/.../libffmpeg0-0.4.9-7.pm.svn20060924.x86_64.rpm
libffmpeg0-0.4.9-7.pm.svn2006.. [
21%]
libxml++-2.14.0-1.guru.suse10.. [
21%]
-> http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.1/./x86_64/knemo-0.4.5-0.pm.1.x86_64.rpm
-> http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.1/./x86_64/gengetopt-2.18-0.pm.1.x86_64.rpm
gengetopt-2.18-0.pm.1.x86_64...
Notice that even though the first line states "guru.suse100.x86_64." and will
download those packages, while lines 6 & 7 ask for packages from 10.1.
Naturally they don't download or upgrade stating that it is an unexpected
package size. What ????? is going on here ??
This has to be some kind of weird bug or something. I have been fighting this
for a week and only tonight noticed the 10.0 to 10.1 difference. Can't
believe that I am the only one affected by this.
Thoughts, suggestions, ideas what to do??? Yea, I guess that I could go to
Packman and manualy download the half dozen packages to upgrade, but that
doesn't fix the broken whatever.
