I don't know why it wants to install the 2.5.2 version for you. Also note the following warning about smartpm:
This project is in beta testing. Please, understand that bugs are expected to be found at that stage, and there are features that still must be implemented in the forthcoming future. Also, kpackage does not require smartpm. Version 4:3.5.9-2 of kpackage only suggests rpm what it does not require it. Why not just install kpackage and forget about smartpm?
