[Axel (axel-redhat-bugs)]

I cannot reproduce it and no one else seems to confirm this bug. Is this still an issue, or was it fixed locally?

[Edwin (edwin-redhat-bugs)]

Yes, this is still present on my system. Current version I'm running is still:

$ rpm -q smart
smart-1.2-64.fc11.i586

[Anders F Björklund (afb)]

Fixed in Rev 871.

[Adrian (adrian-redhat-bugs)]

I'm having exactly the same problem over here.
Version and messages matching.

[peter (peter-redhat-bugs-1)]

I was also getting this problem on FC12, ie:
smart-1.2-66.fc12.i686

I get the error specifically whenever I manually run "smart channel --check", or when smart runs this automatically as part of a channel refresh.

This problem was solved by Anders F Björklund's solution here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/smart/+bug/420164

If, like me, you can't wait for this to be packaged into a fedora update rpm, then you can fix your installed version of smart by:
1) edit /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/smart/channels/rpm_md.py
and make the changes specified in the difference listing in the above solution description.
2) Delete the precompiled binary versions of this same executable:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/smart/channels/rpm_md.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/smart/channels/rpm_md.pyo
3) Run "smart channel --check".
