Found the solution here: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=3&t=62998 Quote: ================================= Posted by: Tom Ronalds Nov 19 2007, 10:40 AM OK, problem solved! -- Just in case this may assist someone in the future... I tried several approaches, including one click install of Smart, as Geoff suggested earlier. No go. So eventually I remembered that sometimes on 64-bit systems, weird errors can come up which are not picked up as dependency issues, when a 32-bit package is installed where there should be a 64-bit one. Incidentally, this is one thing Smart tends to do when one is not paying attention - it will offer to upgrade a 64-bit package with the new one being 32-bit. So I ran the following command: rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' | grep i586 and amongst the results there was <python-gobject2-2.14.0-9.1.i586.rpm> Bingo! sudo rpm -e --nodeps python-gobject2 smart install python-gobject2 Installing packages (1): [EMAIL PROTECTED] smart --gui Good as new! :-) Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. Persistence clearly pays off again!
