Created attachment 733201 [details] Patch to fix whiteout.py and blacklist.py Description of problem: If you use a repo during installation (even if you dont install any packages from this repo) where groups.xml is gzipped, the whiteout.py and blacklist.py yum plugins cause anaconda to crash, as they do not handle compressed metadata. Yum in general handles this fine - it's just these two plugins that fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-13.21.195-1.el6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a valid repo using compressed metadata that contains package groups. 2. Verify that groups.xml is gzipped 3. Use this repo within anaconda Actual results: Anaconda produces an error with a stack trace. Expected results: Anaconda works fine. Additional info: I've attached a patch for whiteout.py - blacklist.py needs the same changes applied.
