Some of you have probably read some of the long threads on smart the past week aor so re: problems running smart on 10.0 Several reported the same symptoms. O sent of an email to Mark Schiffbauer and he in turn forwarded it to Pascal Bleser. He replied to my message within two days. Basically, here is what he said. "Bob, wrong assumption. Of course we do not copy metadata as-is from 10.1 to 10.0. You are most probably using smart-0.42-13 (check with "rpm -q smart"). That release had a bug because of a patch submitted by someone. Upgrade smart to 0.42-14, fixes the bug. If you use the smart package from the Build Service [1], I think it still has the bug, so better switch to my smart package in the "guru" repository." Great guys !! Can't believe how supportive they are to us. Anyway, did what he said and those other problems went away. However, I have a new one that has come up and I don't know how to solve it. After downloading everything (220 mb)I get this message from smart. "Committing transaction... error: ogmtools-1.5-2 requires libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) error: vamps-0.99.2-0.pm.0 requires libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) error: dvdauthor-0.6.11-0.pm.1 requires libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) error: transcode-1.0.2-0.pm.3 requires libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) error: vobcopy-1.0.0-0.pm.0 requires libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) error: lsdvd-0.16-0.pm.0 requires libdvdread.so.3()(64bit)" I DO have libdvdread installed and the libdvdread.so.3 is present in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 Please help if you can. Biggest objection I have to smart is that if you run into a glitch like this it will not upgrade anything. You cannot hold back packages like you could with apt.
