I don't know why this would be happening, but smart just uses the dependencies
declared in the RPM packages in order to determine what to install; so if it's
looking to install packages you do not currently have installed in the image,
in the absence of bug(s) that means somewhere a dependency has been added and
smart is just responding to that. If it looks like it's installing all kernel
module packages that probably means the "kernel-modules" meta-package is being
brought in by something else. I would suggest using "smart query" on the
target to find where this dependency exists.
Cheers,
Paul
