Yes, should be the case, libexpat.so.1 is provided by the package
"expat" (version 2.0.0).

Doesn't matter, smart won't use it unless you explicitely add it.

"Problematic" ? Do. not. do. that. never. ever.
Only use RPMs that have been built on SUSE 10.1 for SUSE 10.1

Hmm.. weird enough.
Do a repair of your RPM database, maybe it's corrupt:
rpm --rebuilddb
Please paste the output of the following 3 commands:
uname -m
rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{PACKAGER} %{ARCH}\n" expat
smart query --installed --name=expat

Certainly atypical. smart does the KDE upgrades without any problems,
but not only for me, I see it every day on #suse (IRC).
Never heard of a problem like that.
Maybe it's an issue with your RPM database.
