Description of problem:
While building a new ks.cfg for 8.0 (starting with one for 7.3), I got a
traceback from anaconda.  I accidentally left "rpm-perl" in the %packages
section.  After anaconda read package information, it crashed and gave a traceback.

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


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build a kickstart file
2.Add a package to the %packages section that doesn't exist in RHL 8.0
3.Install
	

Actual Results:  anaconda tracebacked

Expected Results:  Error message about unknown package
