Alright, let me see if I can find the other solution, (though at this
point, don't know if that will help either. 

Ah, here it is, from Feb 28th.  I don't know if this will work for you,
but perhaps.  
Hopefully, you either have or can install yum-downloadonly.  In this
case, I was able to install db4-utils with yum without errors.  Then, I
got rpm-4.6.0-8, rpm-libs and rpm-python from koji.  I would think that
that shouldn't be necessary now, especially if you have the yum-download
only available. 

So, after getting all that, it puts what it downloaded in
/var/cache/yum/packages.  From there, I swas able to do rpm -Uvh *rpm. 

Again, this was an issue from the end of February, so it may not apply

Spike:'Made with care for Randy.' (looks at Giles angrily) Randy 
Giles? Why not just call me 'Horny Giles,' or 'Desperate for a 
Shag Giles'? I knew there was a reason I hated you!
Giles: Randy's ... a family name, undoubtedly.
