and other modifications that
i do mot want to upgrade to FC-8 from disk(i have them) , rather do
it the yum way , but yum cannot work.
Does rpm still work ?
You could check that the various rpms are installed and OK:
# rpm -q python-sqlite
# rpm -V python-sqlite
{verifies the package: no output is good ;) }
and so forth for each package that is listed as a provider for yum
{obviously my listing is from F8}
# yum deplist yum

Manually dl and install any rpms that have a problem or are missing,
finally adding yum.
