OK, now you have me puzzled big time.

Where does python-gtk 2.12.0-4.2 come from?

I just went back to the version available on the openSUSE site which is 
version 2.10.6-25 at i586. (smart is now working again following this change.)

zypper (now) and smart do not show any available upgrades to python-gtk.

The upgrade to python-gtk v2.12.0-22.1.i586.rpm dated 17 March came from 
'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME: Community' (which I have now removed 
from the list of Community repositories I have in YaST2).

But, where did you get 2.12.0-4.2 from? :-)


Ciao.
