Previouly ATrpms would have default setting, but I felt like that
being wrong, and removed them.

Indeed these are a lot of unrelated updates. And it sais "installed"
which means it assumes you don't have them installed. Is it true that
you don't have say "sed" on the system? I don't think so, so I guess
smart's rpm-db channel is out of order. What does

$ smart channel --show rpm-db
[rpm-db]
type = rpm-sys
name = RPM Database

return on your system?
