Thanks, Marcello.  I guess I'll try again without the adding of repos. 
I know that this is supposed to "testing software" but one would think 
at the very least, is to ensure that something as easy as adding a repo 
on install would tested to work before release.  I looked at the errata 
and release notes and saw nothing on this anomaly... strange.
