If you're willing to change things a little, you might be able to find
out more about the problem.
In the file
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/backends/rpm/pm.py
(on fc7 it is python2.5 instead of python2.5)
add the following lines around the culprit that is failing.
try:
loader = [x for x in pkg.loaders if not x.getInstalled()][0]
except:
print ("loaders index failure %s \n %s" % (str(pkg), str(pkg.loaders)))
Make sure the indentation is consistent, important in python.
This will slow it down slightly, but when it bombs will print the
stringification of the pkg and pkg.loaders. It is actually pkg.loaders
that is a container and has no objects. If smart runs from the gui,
this will probably print in logs somewhere or on a console. If from
the command line, it should print right below the command output.
