uhm, seems like I screwed up a bit...

[Michael Kratz]

I came across a similar thing when I updated a few things on a Redhat 8 
box of mine.

I upgraded rpm, db3, db4 and python

then I did

rpm --rebuilddb -vv

the next time I tried to run yum it grizzled in a similar way to 
yours... at that point then I manually downloaded the latest rpm version 
of yum 2 and upgraded it manually (rpm -Uvh yum-blah)

then again I did:

rpm --rebuilddb -vv

then ran yum and it worked fine.
