I think I fielded this on #cobbler on irc.freenode.net earlier ...  just 
to reiteratre for everyone else, this should be addressed in upstream 
code, and I'm shooting for a release later this week.    Download the 
new stuff via git (instructions on http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) and try 
it out if you are feeling brave, if not, hold on, and it will be 
available soon.

The repo stuff is getting a pretty good overhaul at the moment.
