Hm. Can't reproduce this.

Does this always happen? I mean, if you try the same again, do you get
the same traceback?

Unfortunately I can't help much here because my only x86_64 machine does
not have a network connection and it's not reproducible on x86.

If it's reproducible on x86_64, it might be another of these obscure
Python2.5-64bit incompatibilities. In that case, please yell out loud at
https://bugzilla.novell.com

To see whether it's reproducible, try the following:

1. Run "smart --gui"
2. Edit -> Channels -> New
3. Provide Channel Information -> YaST2 Repository
4. Fill the fields as follows:

Alias: inst-source
Name: openSUSE factory
Base URL:
http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source
All other fields: empty

5. File -> Update Channels
