This might be related or not, but a while ago I was grappling with the same
error in mergerepos. The conclusion was that mergerepos couldn't handle
certain unicode (or some random encoding. don't remember) which createrepo
can handle. I manually ran the mergerepo command run by koji and looked at
the the primary.xml file generated. Removing the packages that did
unicode/random-encoding Provides/Requires solved the problem.
