It's using entirely yum api calls, not system calls. So I'd expect that it 
CAN be modified to use smart, but it definitely cannot be modified to use 
smart trivially. Additionally, there are no guarantees that smart and 
anaconda will depsolve the same way and smart cannot run the yum plugins 
that anaconda runs.


Is there some reason you want to test it w/smart?
