SUSE plans to. Meanwhile it's something completely different. But we do
expect to have this working on Smart either.

Processing the "something else" repository format, patch scripts, etc.

It checks if something changed, like the rpm database or any other file
from any other channel (stored on /var/lib/smart/channels). If it
detects any changes, it reads everything (rpm database and channel
files) to reconstruct the data. It only retrieves files from network
when you do an 'update'.

I don't get a crash, I get an obvious error:
[Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/smart/packages/sazanami-fonts-20040629-7.noarch.rpm.part'
Since I can't write to the cache, I can't install. Even if I do a direct
rpm install, I get:
error: db4 error(13) from dbcursor->c_put: Permission denied
error: error(13) allocating new package instance
Which means the crash you got isn't related to the regular user
installing anything at all.
