Smart gui/commandline reaches 93% cache refresh then crashes

[TTPaws]

smart 1.2
Opensuse 11.2
2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop
python-2.6.2-6.3.i586

Did an update then when the cache refreshed. This happens anytime a cache is refreshed now. A clean was done and didn't change anything

The repodata for openSUSE 11.2 looks broken (the XML is invalid):
 http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/repodata/filelists.xml.gz

[Christian Fertig (christian-fertig)]

The repodata *is* broken.

But beside of that should smart not crash at this point imho.

[Anders F Björklund (afb)]

It should probably show a more friendly error message. But the repodata was checksummed and signed...
Currently the code only catch and shows errors when parsing repomd.xml, not the primary or the filelists.
