Smart 1.4.1 Hangs When Large Numbers of new Packages

[Stephen Morris]

Hi,
     I occasionally have issues with smart whereby when I have anywhere 
between 300 - 2200+ new packages in channels, smart's calculation of 
what needs to be updated/installed when issuing "smart upgrade" appears 
to never finish. I have been in the situation where I have left the 
calculation running for more than an hour without it finishing. In these 
situations I have to use the native Fedora 20 package manager to do the 
update, which invariably displays the packages to update almost 
immediately. This issue is not unique to Fedora 20, I have had this 
issue with every version of Fedora from Fedora 18 plus I have had this 
issue with multiple versions of smart up to 1.4.1 under Mandriva when I 
was using it.
     Has anybody else seen this sort of issue?

regards,
Steve
