Mauricio,

thank you, it almost worked. After adding a 't' to your line ;-) smart
updates. I found a lot of "file not found" or "junk in file" messages -
then I noticed that http://software.opensuse.org seems to bei down at
the moment. Now I changed this URL to some mirrors and smart updates - until

BTW, I' using smart-0.52-27.1 on openSUSE 10.3 x86_64. Forgot to mention
this in my first posting :-(

Maybe it's the patch Patryk posted? I'll try...

It works now!

Thanks Mauricio, thanks Patryk!!

And before I forget it: thanks to all developers who changed the sorting
of packages in smart --gui! I complained 3 months ago ;-)

Regards,
Werner
