So, if you don't like smart-gui in it's current state, could you please share your dislikes -- otherwise it might never get better. I guess Gustavo will be happy to get feedback on SMART.
The two grumbles I have about smart at this point are:
1. It doesn't show me what version I already have installed (as Synaptic and Aptitude do). To me this is somewhat of a "deal breaker"... this really needs to be included in Smart-gui to make it useful/usable.
I don't understand. Could you please provide a screenshot or a more detailed "how to reproduce"? Which "view" are you using in smart-gui?
2. I was able to "double" install an application using Smart. I tagged an app for update in Smart and I let it do it's thing. All looked OK until I fired up Synaptic, and the very first thing Synaptic did was pop up a window telling me there were multiple versions of that rpm installed and that I needed to fix the problem before continuing. It was easy enough to correct, but it really shook my confidence in the whole Smart idea.
I haven't seen that kind of problem yet - are you able to reproduce? If yes, please report a bug! Regards Christoph
