smart package manager problem

[javedkarim]

i am using Suse 10.1
I tried to set the repositories of smart but it did not worked. I have made some changes in smart config to set the proxy by command

smart config --set ftp-proxy=192.168.100.13:8080<some url>
smart config --set http-proxy=192.168.100.13:8080

after that i have tried smart update. it gives me following error

linux-velocity:/home/gardezi # smart update
Loading cache...
Updating cache... ################################################## ########################## [100%]

every time i tried to update the smart it gives me the same error so i decided to uninstall it. After i install it again error remains the same. any one have some idea to fix this error or to set all setting default.

Follow the instructions closely on this site and you'll have Smart working perfectly

Uninstalling an app in Linux, to remove some setting, does not work, if you do not remove the configuration files at the same time. If you are not familiar with an app, then it is often a good idea to search for the configuration files. Using the application's name, is often a good item to use, when formulating your search criteria.

In the case of Smart, I think the configuration files are located somewhere under /var/lib/smart, or something like that. Search, and you will find the config files.
