k3b, k3b-libs packages on Fedora 10

[John Pilkington]

Hi Rex:  I have a new F10 installation and in the past have used the 
smart package manager, most recently in Centos 5.2.  It would not 
install the F10 k3b and k3b-libs combination because it had -

Found unbreakable loops:
     k3b-1.0.5-6.fc10@x86_64 [R] -> k3b-libs-1.0.5-6.fc10@x86_64 [R] -> 
k3b-1.0.5-6.fc10@x86_64 [R]
Will ask RPM to order it.

On clicking 'ok' smart exits.

I had a similar problem earlier with some atrpms packages but it didn't 
persist, perhaps because new packages arrived.

'yum install k3b' had no problems, but I would like to be able to stay 
with smart.

k3b and k3b-libs depend on each other.  Seems simply to be a bug in 
smart to me (?).  Sorry, left my magic-make-smart-work pixie dust in my 
other pants.

+1, it's a bug in smart, it shouldn't crash on it.

The circular dependency is due to the dark arts of multilib.

Please file a bug against smart.

there are a couple of serious bugs with the current implementation of smart in 
F10; a new version that addresses them is due out within a couple of weeks - 
the above problem may be a reflection of those
