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.

Is this the real smart 1.4, or the "mandriva" branch ?

Previously Mandriva have been using their own fork,
which had some issues like the one you are describing...
I merged the applicable code, and added some workarounds
for where it had a LZMA / XZ file as a .xml, and so on.

Try with https://launchpad.net/smart/+download source.
