Everything normal: RPM removes unchanged config files, creates backups
of changed config files and doesn't touch user-created config files.
This is the way it's intended to be.

You have not lost any data: Just install the RPM you want to have,
again, rename the .rpmsave backup files back to their original name and
everything is restored.

This is normal RPM behaviour, nothing specific to smart or the RPMs you
have used.
