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:
Your co-worker is running into the problem with the broken XML file in the update repository and you are not, maybe you didn't touch smart in the short timeframe where the broken XML file was on the server?
Try this:
rm -f /var/lib/smart/cache rm -f /var/lib/smart/channels/* smart update
Does it work then?
Ah, that does indeed work. Thanks for your quick, concise instructions.
But it was necessary only because smart is too stupid for the real world. After "rm -rf", it worked again because the repository error got fixed in the meantime. So a full-brained human would expect smart would work again without such a dirty trick.
