Personally, I'd do this: Download the latest smart (below), but do not install. rpm -e smart rm -rf /var/lib/smart rpm -Uvh the_smart_rpm smart --shell and if you are running the most recent version 0.40-8.guru.suse93 or smart-0.40-8.guru.suse100 then it will ask you about importing the channel files. Once that is done, issue 'update' then 'upgrade'. I have had lots of trouble using the rpm-md stuff, exactly the problems you describe. Use the apt stuff for now.
