SMART is doing what it's supposed to do. It offers an upgradeable 
file, but, because all the mirrors haven't caught up, or because 
someone forgot to update a spec file, or because I forgot to 
take my meds this am, SMART is warning you that it will have to 
downgrade two other packages in order to upgrade the first - 
sometimes, that can be very useful. Yumex can't get that 
sophisticated, and just returns a failed dependencies error in 
the same situation.

now - 'bout those meds.....
