This could be a packaging problem in smart.  If the files have
predictable names and don't contain non-replacable content then it might
need to %ghost them.  Not being a smart user, though, I don't know if
that's the case with these files or not.  If you're using the smart
package from Fedora you might want to open a bug against the package
here as well.
