mergerepo fails with PCDATA invalid Char value 8

[Steve Traylen]

Hi,
  Got koji basically working for me over the last couple of weeks. Was
very keen to
  try its new external repository support.

  Starting with a fresh instance I made a tag (dist-slc5)  containing two repos.

   koji add-external-repo -t dist-slc5 -p 10 "slc5-64-base"
http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc5X/x86_64/yum/os
   koji add-external-repo -t dist-slc5 -p 10 "slc5-32-base"
http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc5X/i386/yum/os

  and then tried to make a koji repo from that.

   koji regen-repo dist-slc5

   This called

   /usr/libexec/kojid/mergerepos -a i386 -b
/mnt/koji/repos/dist-slc5-build/189/i386/blocklist -o
/tmp/koji/tasks/556/556/repo \
           -g /mnt/koji/repos/dist-slc5-build/189/groups/comps.xml -r
http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc5X/x86_64/yum/os/ \
           -r http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc5X/i386/yum/os/

 resulting in as below. Any ideas ?
