if I recall correctly, you had to update yum in Fedora 9 because a
change was made during the lifetime of Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 used the
newer version of the RPM database. If you can reboot into Fedora 9
instead and run (as root), 'yum update yum', this would probably fix it.

Again, I am going from memory here...it's been a while.
