Thanks Rahul.  Your answer to Albert Graham helped me with a similar yum
problem.  In my case, I needed to remove the latest yum-filter-data package
that I updated after the repositories came back online.

The stack trace that was generated when yum (and yumex) failed showed that
the failure started in the file /usr/lib/yum-plugins/filter-data.py, hence
using "rpm -e yum-filter-data" fixed my yum problem.
