After seeing success with smart on my workstation after adding python-curl, I was asked by a cow-orker to look at a problem he was having with smart. Even though we are running 10.1 on identical hardware, my smart works fine, while his crashes every time it is invoked, with the following error: root@D6008985:~> smart update Traceback (most recent call last): ############################################## ( 98%) File "/usr/bin/smart", line 194, in ? main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/bin/smart", line 167, in main exitcode = iface.run(opts.command, opts.argv) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/interface.py", line 53, in run result = _command.main(self._ctrl, opts) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/commands/update.py", line 77, in main ctrl.reloadChannels() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/control.py", line 375, in reloadChannels self._cache.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/metadata.py", line 321, in loadFileProvides self.parseFilesList(fndict) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/metadata.py", line 346, in parseFilesList for event, elem in cElementTree.iterparse(file, ("start", "end")): File "<string>", line 64, in __iter__ SyntaxError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 479344, column 58 root@D6008985:~> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
