[NTLUG:Discuss] Smart pkg mgr question

(Serious mode on)

Am running Suse 10.2 and was doing some installs
using Smart package manager and it just quit.

After Smart hosed up (hung, quit, froze, whatever) and I killed it with the 
kill command, subsequent launches give the warning that the configuration
is read only, even as root. If I use cli (smart --gui --ignore-locks) then it 
works ok without the warning.

I have looked in what I thought were the obvious places for a lock file but I 
cannot find it. I also searched through the mail list archives and bug 
reports for Smart to see if anyone else reported the problem but nothing 
came back. Anyone know where Smart hides it's config lock file?

Thanks,
Fred
