Maybe connected with that is the problem that "smart" always displays messages
like "warning: waiting to reestablish exclusive database lock" with no other

That sometimes happen when  libzypp is doing something  in the background. Do a top in a console to check what is the program running (i.e., check for update-status in the top's output).

Best Regards,
