Smart now crashes on my openSuse 11 - Traceback - line 194

[BigPat]

I went thru some openSuse updater updates that messed me up for Smart Package Manager I believe...

openSuse 11.0
kernel 2.6.25.16-0.1
Python 2.5.2-26.2
Smart 0.52-90.2-i586

When I run: smart --gui

Smart does indeed start, momentarily, and then arrives at the following large error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 194, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])

  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 167, in main
    exitcode = iface.run(opts.command, opts.argv)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/interfaces/gtk/interactive.py", line 373, in run
    self._ctrl.reloadChannels()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/control.py", line 354, in reloadChannels
    if not channel.fetch(self._fetcher, progress):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/channels/rpm_md.py", line 62, in fetch
    item = fetcher.enqueue(repomd)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/fetcher.py", line 170, in enqueue
    item = FetchItem(self, url, mirror)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/fetcher.py", line 410, in __init__
    self._urlobj = URL(mirror.getNext())

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/fetcher.py", line 575, in __init__
    self.set(url)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/fetcher.py", line 608, in set
    user, host = urllib.splituser(host)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 1050, in splituser
    match = _userprog.match(host)

TypeError: expected string or buffer

It all worked fine until a week or so back, and seems like I needed to get creative to get a few Suse updates as well. Obviously, I made some wrong moves.

Ideas?

Thanks,

How about trying a later version e.g smart v1.2-3.1
# rpm -qa | grep -i "smart-"
smart-gui-1.2-3.1
smart-ksmarttray-1.2-3.1
smart-1.2-3.1

rpms see http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/smart/openSUSE_11.1/

Good try, but not so good at this end:

    File "/usr/bin/smart", line 195, in <module>
        main(sys.argv[1:])

      File "/usr/bin/smart", line 168, in main
        exitcode = iface.run(opts.command, opts.argv)

      File

    line 373, in run
        self._ctrl.reloadChannels()

      File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart/control.py", line
    359, in reloadChannels
        if not channel.fetch(self._fetcher, progress):

As well, I grabbed the same version # you pointed me to, but for
openSuse 11.0, which is what I run on desktop...

As of note you python 2.5.2-26.2.
I use python python-2.6.0-5.4.
The python version 2.6 may help you, if you can upgrade to that
opensuse mirrors -> http://mirrors.opensuse.org/list/all.html
Im using openSuse 11.1 64 bit
Good luck
