This has been fixed upstream, I changed prepareLocation to not
try to grab the directory list, just check for it's existence
using fetcher.hasFile:

http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel?cs=24a96e544e8e

I don't know of a tree with disabled directory listings, so if
you could verify, that would be appreciated.
