Bug 235520

Description of problem:

 After a RHEL5 machine is installed, a command 'yum install <anyPackage>' 
failed with error messages:

 error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 yum-3.0.1-5.el5.noarch

How reproducible:

  Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. extract the default RHEL5 Client ISOs into a same directory according to 
README, then install a RHEL5 computer with either kickstart or interactive 
method. 

2. setup yum repositories definition files and put them 
under /etc/yum.repos.d/. Client, VT and Workstation directories have their own 
definitions. I've named the three files redhatClient.repo, redhatVT,repo, 
redhatWorkstation.repo. They are pretty similar and one of them is like this:

pullmyhair@restRHEL5 ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/redhatClient.repo 
[baseClient]
name=Redhat Enterprise $releasever - $basearch - Base - Client
baseurl=http://RHEL5Server.example.com/<path-to-RHEL5-extracted-ISOs-
tree>/Client/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
pullmyhair@testREHL5 ~]$ 


3. Then run 'yum install <anyPackageOrAnyGroup>' command to install additional 
package(s). The yum command will fail every time.
  
Actual results:

[root@testRHEL5 ~]# yum install gnuplot

Expected results:


Additional info:

1, If I rename all the repodata/ directory to repodata_ORIG/ under 
Client/VT/Workstation directories of the extracted original RHEL5 ISOs, then 
run 'createrepo . ' to re-generate new repodata/ tree. Then the yum command 
works. 

But Since it is a change of the default original installation tree, It poses a 
big question mark there whether, and how serious, the anaconda and kickstart 
will be affected.
