Make sure we actually fetched a usable treeinfo file none

Description Cole Robinson 2008-11-10 19:20:21 UTC 
The mechanism virtinst uses to determine if an FTP file is present in the passed URL tree has apparently been busted all through RHEL5: it always reports success. This just happpened to work out before since most people are installing RHEL or Fedora trees, and we would fall through to those defaults.

With the .treeinfo fetching code for bug 460585, these previously working FTP installs fail, trying to parse a treeinfo file that doesn't exist. This breaks url installs for pre-F8 and pre-RHEL5.2.

Make sure we actually fetched a usable treeinfo file

Rather than actually fix FTP file detection to work (already upstream), I'd rather not rock the boat. This patch preserves existing behavior, except that we will detect if there really wasn't a treeinfo file fetched, and continue as normal.

Verified that this fetches RHEL5 GA and F10 trees successfully.
