I'm not sure why, but it may have something to do with the fact that it looks like Mandriva may be moving away from urpmi/rpm to mpm/mdvpkg, based on conversations I'm seeing on cooker around trying to get that combination to function properly, and to do things like not auto remove orphans.

Hi Anders,
     Ignoring the fact that the trunk version of smart still has its 
progress calculations wrong, does the messages from Main 64 bit onwards 
mean that smart has not downloaded the synthesis files?
