I have added a local rpm repository and when updating cache it hanged with
this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/smart/interfaces/gtk/interactive.py",

IOError: [Errno 2] Arquivo ou diretório não
encontrado: '/mnt/ext3/linux/mandriva/mde/2007.1/x86_64/32-bit/libkdecore4-3.5.7-18mde2007.1.i586.rpm'

The
file /mnt/ext3/linux/mandriva/mde/2007.1/x86_64/32-bit/libkdecore4-3.5.7-18mde2007.1.i586.rpm
is a symlink that points
to /mnt/ext3/linux/mandriva/mde/2007.1/i586/kde-3.5.7/libkdecore4-3.5.7-18mde2007.1.i586.rpm
but this file doesnt exist anymore so smart hanged but that shouldnt be a
reason to smart hang...
