I've been using smart-0.41-28.guru.suse101.i686.rpm on my 10.1 box for some time but today it's started failing the smart update routine with the following traceback.

I've had this sort of problem pop up now and again with Smart. Easiest fix for me is to delete the contents of /var/lib/smart/channels and then run
smart update which will refresh the channel information.
Possibly not ideal if you're on a dial up but saves having to work out which channel is having a problem and why.
For what it is worth, I maintain several production SuSE boxes using smart. After an update yesterday (possibly Tuesday), smart is broken on every box. Removing the channels didn't fix it, nor did renaming the config file. YaST gives me errors when I try and update all the files, so I have had to update each file one-by-one. If anyone figures out what broke and how to fix it, please post the solution to the list. Thanks.
