Been using smart --gui on 10.0 on alternate days with apt. Two days ago smart worked o.k. Today SuSE put out a new version of wine (apparently both on the 'update' repository *and* on the 'security' repository!). On clicking Upgrade, it listed a number of candidates - including wine.
Since I had already upgraded wine from the 'wine' repository, I did *not* want smart --gui Upgrade to fetch from the 'SuSE' repositories. So I went into smart Edit -> Priorities and tried to tell smart to "downplay" getting wine from 'update'. That was accepted, but when I tried smart --gui Upgrade, it still wanted to download wine. Looked and looked, and noticed that the 'wine' description listed *both* update+security as sources. So I went again into smart Edit -> Priorities and tried to tell smart to "downplay" getting wine from 'security'. This time smart locked up completely.
I did a kill -9 on the smart processes, and this time tried to manually search for the other upgrade candidates (leaving out wine) and mark them individually as "install". That worked for two candidates, but while doing this on the third candidate, smart again locked up completely. Another kill -9.
Since smart --gui is not allowing me to indicate which packages I want it to upgrade and which not, for me smart has become UNUSABLE.
