yum and rpm down after an upgrade.

[Jim Cornette]

I cannot use either rpm or yum after an upgrade. The error that I get is 
below.
  yum list updates
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

    libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5 (r25:51908, Feb 13 2007, 09:13:49)
[GCC 4.1.1 20070209 (Red Hat 4.1.1-57)]
