My Smart Package Manager went stupid this evening.
Short Story:
Don't try to run smart when ksmarttray is running.
Long Story (ere is the sequence):
#smart --gui &
This produced a print that the 'gtk' library (or something like that)
was not available. ????
#yum remove smart smart-gui smart-update ksmarttray
This removed them all but not 'smart-gui' ????
#yum install smart smart-gui smart-update ksmarttray
This installed them all without errors.
#smart --gui &
This popped up a box stating that "Configuration is in readonly mode"
and on clicking OK, closes and no smart runs.
#rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*
#rpm --rebuilddb
(wait a while)
#smart --gui &
This again popped up a box stating that "Configuration is in readonly
mode" and on clicking OK, closes and no smart runs.
#ps aux|grep rpm
None running
#ps aux|grep smart

Hmmm... Maybe ksmarttray runs smart in the background...
Quit ksmarttray. Do:
#smart --gui &
Smart runs!
