If I might add my own two cents/pence/centimes/pfennigen/dinars/etc:

THis morning I attempted my morning update using smart. I could not 
raise livna by any channel whatsoever--not by a repo-metadata channel, 
and not by the apt-rpm channel that installs with the atrpms version of 
smart. Fortunately, when smart has a problem with any given channel, it 
just moves on. I suspect, however, that livna has had a bunch of crashes.
