It's not a smart problem per se. In my latest smart package (0.40-10), I also 
added the security and
update APT components.
When you do a "search" it shows you all the hits.

We're currently discussing that on the smart mailing-list.
IMHO smart should either
- - "search foo" => only show the package names, but then only once
- - "search -v foo" => also show the version
- - "search -c foo" => also show the channel (and hence, show them all)

Now if, when you do a "install snort", smart installs multiple copies of snort, 
then it's definately
a bug. If you can reproduce it, please do file a bug: http://labix.org/smart

How long did you wait ?
It was probably hanging on the socket with ftp.gwdg.de
The default value for socket timeout is 120 seconds.
You can change that by modifying the "socket-timeout" config parameter:
smart config --set socket-timeout=30

I don't think so...
Christoph ?
