Hi,
      Can someone tell me why this error occurs, and continues to occur, 
and why the standard Mandriva urpmi application doesn't have any issue 
with the same file (assuming the Mandriva package manager actually reads 
the file)? Or, alternatively, how do we configure Smart to not attempt 
to download the files that continually give Smart a problem, that the 
Mandriva package manager doesn't download until they are actually 
required by the gui process (and subsequently ignored by the package 
manager if the download fails, as things like the info files are not 
critical to the functionality of the application)

regards,
Steve
