This is probably being caused by the recent changes in the RPM
database you've being making.  Smart caches information from the
database based on the mtime of the Packages file (perhaps there
is a most reliable way to do it) and expects it to be unchanged
unless the mtime has changed as well.

Please try to remove your cache with "rm /var/lib/smart/cache".
