Description:
If you select the primary pacman mirror multiple times during the install the the pacman mirror configuration files become broken. I repeatedly selected a mirror (three times). It appears the install may have tried to correct the entry on the second attempt but definitely failed on the third.

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:
Repeat the selection of primary pacman mirror multiple times during install.

cannot confirm this Server = is always created the same here,
which ISO you used 686 or x86_64?

I used the latest i686 base iso (Don't Panic). I don't have a spare computer/partition so I can't try and repeat it at the moment. What I ended up with the first time was a Server = entry that was not completely deleted and then multiple copies on the next line. I use mirror ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/ if that helps

ok normally the old line just gets a # and the new ones are appended, i'll retry later with my new 2007.08.1 isos
