system-config-kickstart error in CentOS 7

Using system-config-kickstart version 2.9.6-1.el7 in CentOS 7 yields the following error, when attempting to select packages.

"Package selection is disabled due to problems downloading package information."

Screenshot of the message in the "Package Selection" menu.

It seems someone filed a bug with CentOS regarding this problem:  See https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9611

As stated by the bug poster, the issue can be fixed by modifying line 161 of the file: /usr/share/system-config-kickstart/packages.py

156         # If we're on a release, we want to try the base repo first.  Otherwise,
157         # try development.  If neither of those works, we have a problem.
158         if "fedora" in map(lambda repo: repo.id, self.repos.listEnabled()):
159             repoorder = ["fedora", "rawhide", "development"]
160         else:
161             repoorder = ["rawhide", "development", "fedora"]

Becomes:

161             repoorder = ["rawhide", "development", "fedora", "base"]

Restart system-config-kickstart and packages can now be read from the local yum repositories.
