I'm seeing this error when trying to do a newRepo task on my local
koji server, using rawhide as an external repo:
2101/14674 - python-decoratortools-1.7-4.fc12.noarch
2102/14674 - ruby-atk-0.19.1-2.fc12.ppc

The builders and hub are all running a fully updated F11. This is the
first newRepo task after the repo addition, so it's all purely from
rawhide.
I see that there was a similar report of this in the past, but I don't
see a resolution? Is there a patch I need to apply, or do I have to
block the erroring packages in koji, or?
Help would be appreciated. (I'm also confused why the main koji
instance isn't hitting this).
