w/o removing the libtmp.so.6

smart upgrade --update --explain --stepped

upgrade     upgrades installed packages

- --update    updates the package database

- --stepped   allows installation of singular packages including their
  dependencies Y/N 
  
- --explain   denotes the dependencies/requirements



this information is all available in the man pages/docs and/or from
the commandline, ie:
  smart upgrade --help
  smart install --help
  smart --help
  .....
  
<rant>   One of our biggest contunual gripes is the "lack of"/"poor
         quality of" documentation.  We should at least try the
         documentation as some of it makes sense even to me   :^)
