I tried "yum install smart-tray" just now and got:
No Match for argument: smart-tray
Nothing to do

True, but ... the classical situation when apt/smart try to
downgrade is resolving broken package deps inside of an
installed system. apt and smart diagnose them and try to
resolve them (by downgrading), yum doesn't diagnose these
problems and lets users believe "everything is OK", while it
actually isn't.

I.e. the fact yum doesn't complain, doesn't mean it is right.

I have run into problems where apt tries to fix the repository
issues and fails and doesnt let me perform other operations like
updating a package which is completely unrelated to repo
breakages.

That's true, apt always checks the global health of your system and
bails out if it detects something broken to alert the user. That is
a debatable policy (there is no technical reason to do so) mostly
because it doesn't allow you to use apt anymore to fix the
breakage.

I yum installed smart and now when I try to invoke it I get this..
[root@iam ~]# smart --gui
error: Interface 'gtk' not available

[root@iam ~]#

Seems a dependency wasn't considered and I have everything gtk
installed known to yum... via yum install gtk* ..about 40 megs worth
and I still get this error. Ric

Extras has four packages (smart, smart-update, smart-gui, and
ksmarttray) available for downloading. You need to install the first
three to get full capabilities.

I cannot see ksmarttray in extras.

Just do a yum smart-tray and you should get it. I got it last night just
fine
