I'm testing this in two different settings (quite different kickstart 
profiles, and even a different mirror of the SL install tree):

- In the first case, I add four repositories, two of which have no rpms.
It seems adding up to three, no matter which ones, works. Adding the 
fourth breaks things. Behaviour is the same for i386 and x86_64.

- In the second case, I add exactly one empty repository: updates/security 
from the install tree. Here i386 works, but x86_64 installs reliably fail
with this error.

I said it's a bit weird....

All repository URLs are http ones (except of course the 
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org one coded into the python module).

The same profiles work with 5.0and 5.1. We did hundreds of kickstart 
installations without this problem.
