Error Message on updating cache

[Jan Landert]

Hi,

I'm using Smart 0.42 with opensuse 10.1 on my hp nx8220 notebook. I has doing 
its job fantasticly for a while but recently I got an error message every 
time it tries to update the cache and I cannot use it anymore. I don't know 
what to do - here is the error/ traceback message:

  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 194, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])

  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 167, in main
    exitcode = iface.run(opts.command, opts.argv)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/interfaces/gtk/interactive.py", 
line 364, in run
    self._ctrl.reloadChannels()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/control.py", line 375, in 
reloadChannels
    self._cache.load()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/metadata.py", line

    self.parseFilesList(fndict)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/metadata.py", line

    for event, elem in cElementTree.iterparse(file, ("start", "end")):

  File "<string>", line 64, in __iter__

SyntaxError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 479344, column 58

What should I do?

Thanks.
