I just want to do a yum update but yum itself is broken. Heres what I get:

This worked fine in Fed 8. Has anyone seen this before or got any
suggestions please? Thanks
Hi Stargazer ;)
I would suggest that perhaps it is rpm that isn't working. Try an rpm
verify {that I think will fail}:
# rpm -V rpm yum
