The smart 42.9 package for SUSE is broken and produces the Segmentation 
Fault. The real concern here I think would  be that just because Smart 
is broken it causes ALL packages downloaded with it to "collapse" and 
not be installed.

I was able to install individually the other rpms which were downloaded 
with smart but when I tried to install the smart rpms (42.9) the process 
collapsed with the Segmentation Fault.

Cheers.
