Retired

Reason for Retirement: Unfortunately this is the normal behaviour of rpm (not
the repository). Ususally conflicts occur with multilib packages. afb has some
patches upstream which look to makes available some additional information for
rpm-md repos (other.xml)

Please reopen this issue in the new bugtracker if it is still an issue.

With rpm-md repositories (no verified with others) smart downloads 
filelists.xml.gz and extracts it, but when you query the filelist of an 
uninstalled package you obtain an empty list (both from cli and gui).
A problem derived from this one is that you can tell smart to install a package 
that has a file that conflicts with a previously installed package. If this 
happens, the installation will fail *after* downloading the package.
To me, a perfect behavior would be:
- Have a per repository option to download or no filelist.xml.gz.
- If downloaded, show the list of files of uninstalled packages.
- If you have filelist.xml check if there will be file conflicts *before* 
downloading a package.
- If you don't have filelist.xml continue with the actual behaviour (download 
the package and try to install it).

File other.xml.gz isn't even downloaded. I don't know exactly what information 
this file has (changelogs and...??), but an option to use or not to use it 
would be good too.
