Smart error on SUSE 10.0 since this morning

[Kyek, Andreas, VF-DE]

Hello,

since this morning smart refuses to run on my SUSE 10.0
system (I'm using smart since a while now). Friday everything
worked fine!

I already delete all channel informations in 
/var/lib/smart/channel and the cache file; no change.

The error message is:

linux:/ # smart update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 194, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 167, in main
    exitcode = iface.run(opts.command, opts.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/interface.py", line 53,
in run
    result = _command.main(self._ctrl, opts)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/commands/update.py", line
77, in main
    ctrl.reloadChannels()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/control.py", line 375, in
reloadChannels
    self._cache.load()
  File

  File "<string>", line 61, in __iter__
SyntaxError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 19123, column 1228


And it does not work.

The installed version is smart-0.42-7.guru.suse100

Any ideas?
