Your error message looks rather unexpected... I didn't think anything in
the platform/sdk build tried to use smart, though I have no actual
evidence that it doesn't.
The smart package manager has replaced zypper in the Yocto project since
release Dylan (1.4):
https://www.yoctoproject.org/blogs/khem/2013/get-smart-smart-package-manager
As far as I know Tizen on Yocto, aka tizen-distro, contains meta-tizen
and several other meta layers, including openembedded-core and
meta-openembedded which at the moment are based on release Dizzy (1.7)
of the Yocto Project. Therefore the smart package manager is used to
install packages into the image.
You could be right, but I don't see any evidence of that. I don't think
(and can be convinced otherwise) that the image construction uses any
kind of package manager.
Package manager is used during the phase of image generation in the
Yocto Project work flow. Please have a look at the Yocto Project
documentation for details:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#image-generation-dev-environment
This is the patch from December 2012 that replaces zypper with the smart
package manager in Yocto/OpenEmbedded:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-December/071886.html
Variable ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE provides a direct evidence that the smart
package management is used during Tizen image generation using the Yocto
project:
$ bitbake tizen-common-core-image-crosswalk -e | grep ^ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE
ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE_BOOTSTRAP="run-postinsts"
ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE="rpm smartpm"
By the way the smart package manager is a convenient tool that can be
used for package installation at runtime, too. I have described how this
can be done at the wiki:

Leon
