Looks to me as if smart and yum are actually in error here:

=2Exml=20
say this:
<data type=3D"primary">
<location href=3D"repodata/primary.xml.gz"/>
<checksum type=3D"sha">f1ead799142177415bc208f119dc073d40c6d824</checksum>

<open-checksum=20

Those don't look anything like the checksum and open-checksum (for the=20
gunzipped case) in repomd.xml, so apt is right to complain about it. And=20
actually yum doesn't like it either:
