Don't remove rpm, just run an 'rpm -Uvh --force rpm-4.4.2-47.el5.i386.rpm'
this should replace any configs/macros that might have been damaged.
Outside of that, I dunno, I would probably do an rpm audit for all
packages that have changed files and re-install those packages on top
of themselves, making sure to move all the '*.rpmnew' on top of the
existing files. Then verify your Internet connection works properly
with yum (are you behind a proxy server?), and see what that does.
