Trying 'smart --gui' on SUSE 10.1 x86_64, to fetch a "large" mass
of updates. The 'downloads' panel is somewhat incomprehensible.
I used to be able to identify "problem" downloads by their
progress bars not being filled in -- but no longer:
A number of lines show up on the panel with status 'Done', but
without the progress fields having been filled in. As far as
I can tell, these are duplicates of packages being downloaded
from some other place. [Earlier versions of 'smart --gui' did
NOT show these confusing (to me) lines.]
I can't tell whether these confusing lines point to packages in
mirrors, or to packages in a different specified repository
(which just happens to contain the same updated package).
That is because 'smart' *condenses* the file identification as
shown in the 'downloads' panel - so I am not told the directory
at the site to which that line points.
