    yum: Ensure we disable the MediaRepo when the PackageKit backend
has finished

    YUM is unable to ignore repos that do not exist, even media repos
    and this stops yum working if the media is not present.

    PackageKit is a bit more clever and can ignore (with a warning)
    sources that do not exist or are not contactable but we still need
    to preserve compatibility for people who use both the PackageKit
    tools and the yum CLI.

    Ensure we set the enabled= line in the repo file so that any tool
    that cannot skip repos is able to continue working.

Could anyone affected by this issue please rebuild the PackageKit SRPM
here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/fedora/13/SRPMS/ and
install it on their computer, then reboot.

If this fixes the issue or remains broken it would be very interesting
to me. I've also written up some note here:
http://people.redhat.com/rhughes/media-repo.txt -- if it works, i'll
submit an update to F13 on Monday.

Thanks.

Richard.
