2011.0 is at RC2 at the moment I believe, but they have released it into 
repositories in directory 'Official' which is causing some 
misconceptions on what it actually is. They have also update the version 
of smart in their 2011 repository to 1.4 but it doesn't work because of 
the old problem of trying to process a cz compressed file as a standard 
xml file.

I thought this file was superfluous because as far as I am aware 
Mandriva's urpmi doesn't download these files, it seems to only download 
the synthesis files. It seems to me that it is only rpmdrake (their gui 
package manager) that downloads the info files, but only when they are 
needed to retrieve information on individual packages.

The other thing I don't understand with these errors is that the gui interface had already successfully downloaded the file identified in the below messages, so I don't understand why the smart shell interface got the error.

Yes, when it gets this error it shuts down.

I had a look at this incident and it does sound similar in that I have 
some plf repositories in the list which are specifying a mirror list, 
but I still get the error even if I remove these.
In the last thread I sent through with similar error messages, every 
channel in the list is individual synthesis files and there are no 
mirror lists specified in any channel, and as indicated Smart's progress 
counter is reaching 100% before it downloads all required files, but no 
file has been retried. It seems from that example that Smart is getting 
its progress counter incorrect relative to the number of files it has to 
download.

Steve
