Encountered this issue by accidently adding a i386 repo on x86_64 installer.

Correction. It happened when I missed checking 'URL is a mirror list' when graphically adding a mirror url at package repository step.
Seth - is this a yum exn that anaconda should be catching, or is the problem more on your end?
heh, I just hit this doing the same thing hurry did. =)
Can anyone get me the repomd.xml from this repo? B/c if a repo is lacking a primary then it is not possible to install from it.
The code this bug resulted from is no longer present as of anaconda-18.3. Please test with F18 and if you see similar problems, open a new bug. Thanks.
