Installation: redhat-config-packages program doesn't work properly

G'day,

When using "redhat-config-packages" with the "--isodir" command-line to
install the "samba" packages the following error occured and failed to
instaell the packages.

------------------- cut here --------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/AddDialog.py", line 338, in
addDialogInstallButtonClicked
 iter = self.model.iter_children(self.optional_iter)
AttributeError: 'AddDialog' object has no attribute 'optional_iter'

-------------------- end cut -------------------------

This occurred with Fedora Core 1 Beta 2. The installation program works
when more than just the required packages can be selected (ie KDE).

One other quirk is in the wording on the package install window. The tip
at the top of the window states that "A package group can have both
standard and extra package members. ..." Yet in the list window it shows
"Required packages" and "Optional Packages". This could possibly create
confusion to the uninitiated.
