Description of problem: Using a kickstart file which includes a "repo" specification as well as specifying a package found in that extra repository will work once, but will fail the second time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Run anaconda twice with the attached kickstart file. Replace /mnt/FC6media with a path to a mounted ISO image of FC6 (of course). anaconda -G -m nfs://mnt/FC6media --rootpath /tmp/anacondatest --kickstart=test.cfg anaconda -G -m nfs://mnt/FC6media --rootpath /tmp/anacondatest2 --kickstart=test.cfg Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Second anaconda command will fail, complaining that the "facter" rpm is missing or damanged. There is nothing wong with the "facter" RPM. If you look closely (via strace), you'll see the second anaconda instance requests the "facter" RPM from the specific repository. However, it uses a byte range which is outside the size of the "facter" RPM. Expected results: You should get two clean FC6 installs. Once into /tmp/anacondatest the other into /tmp/anacondatest2.

Is this still a problem with F8?
