Yeah, I wonder why Fedora has to supply outdated configuration for
apt and smart when it's regulated by the base that yum must be used:

fedora-package-config-apt-16.00-2.src.rpm
fedora-package-config-smart-13.89-23.src.rpm

The only way to make it sync is to parse the yum repo configuration.
(as provided by "system-release", and installed in /etc/yum.repos.d)

I found the problem, when setting G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings for debug:

in pk_client_set_hints_cb (source_object=<optimized out>, 
    res=<optimized out>, user_data=0x62d000) at pk-client.c:1673

It was trying to pass a bitfield off as a string, after the change.
