When all packages are downloaded, output looks like:

<pre>Committing transaction...

In English the strange part means:
<pre>gpg: requesting key 3AB2CE5E from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: key 3AB2CE5E: "Detlef Reichelt (Packman-RPM-Key) <email address hidden>" not
changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1</pre>

I've noticed this bug since smart 0.42. Everything works fine if smart is
executed with US locale (LANG="en_US.UTF-8" smart upgrade).

Current configuration:
SUSE 10.1
smart 0.50
python 2.4.2
