Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-kickstart-2.7.7-1.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run s-c-k Actual results: crash Expected results: non-crash

What repos do you have enabled and disabled?
Hmm... I had adobe and livna enabled in addition to the standard fedora and updates repos. I disabled them, ran it and it works. Then I re-enabled them and it still works. So either it was a temporary problem with one of the repos (shouldn't it just start but not allow fancy package customization in that case?) or the "reset" fixed it.
Probably some temporary network or repo problem that went away between runs. You're right in that it should disable package selection if there are problems instead of crashing, though. It does a little bit of that but I need more exception handling to catch this case. I'll add that for a new version.
