Setup Misfeature [ Doctor, It hurts when I do this ]

[David A. Cobb]

To start right off, the following appears to happen only because I am 
including a non-canonical site -- at least, the packages involved all 
come from the same place.

1. Run through the usual steps to select some packages for installation 
( Direct Connection, Multiple Mirrors, Admin Priv., For All).
  DO NOT ACTIVATE THE FINAL "NEXT" BUTTON.
2. Assume, "whoops, I made a mistake."  Go "BACK"

3. NOTE: The setup.ini files are re-fetched.  This really should not be 
necessary - it would be good to be able to review the selections without 
it.  But that's not this bug.

4. View the Out-Of-Date list. 
I am seeing a large number of packages proposed for installation with 
"blanks" in the current version field.  If I attempt to select one of 
these names with the mouse Setup either hangs or dies a horrible death.

THIS ALSO HAPPENS IN 2.418 Snapshot Setup.
