Package: smartpm
Version: 0.50~rc1-1
Severity: serious
I don't have the rpm package installed. Starting smart --gui yields
smart --gui
error: Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading: No such file or
directory.
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lock/rpm/transaction
and the app quits immediately. Same for smart --shell.
smarpm is either missing a dependency on the rpm package or the rpm
support should be disabled when rpm is not found.
Filing with severity serious because without rpm installed the software
is unusable.
Cheers,
Michael

Hello, Michael.
smart supports deb and slackpkg besides rpm. Nonetheless, smartpm-core
depend on python-rpm, which depends on librpm4. That's enough for smart
support for rpm packages.
If you add some channels, however, they require read and/or write access
to some files, which only superuser usually has. Then, this error.
Please, check your configured channels and try to run smart as
superuser.
If this bothers you, please open the bug again, set its severity to
normal, and send us more information, like your configuration.
I wouldn't be surprised if you had a rpm-dir channel configured.
Regards,
Thadeu Cascardo.
