Is it possible that this exception could also pop up because of an
invalid repo url on the command line or in a kickstart? If so, the
better fix would be to catch OSError in updateBaseRepo or
_configureBaseRepo and raise PayloadError.
No, in these cases we catch any problems and fall back to using the
closest mirror. I will be sending off more patches related to the
fallback stuff, though. Oh boy.
