can't reproduce on a fresh x86_64 installation. Adding Brian in case he has
a clue for this.

I use fresh installed x86_64 CentOS 7.5 via VNC
with partially filled config anaconda-ks.cfg

And I can see in /etc/yum/vars/contentdir:

# cat /etc/yum/vars/contentdir
altarch

As I understand, on the fresh x86_64 installation
file /etc/yum/vars/contentdir should have centos value.

P.S.

I will report this issue to my hoster (hetzner.com)
may be this is hoster issue and not CentOS issue ?

But I am not sure what this is hoster bug,
it may be CentOS 7.5 anaconda installer bug.

I delete after installation all anaconda configs and all anaconda
log files, so now I can't debug this issue more deeply, sorry.

I have freshly installed CentOS 7.5 on a Dell server, and
/etc/yum/vars/contentdir
contains 'altarch' too. CentOS 7.4->7.5 upgraded servers have
'centos'.
