f-a-l really isn't the place to seek help, and certainly not the first place.

Currently on the top of every wiki page is a link to this which should help you:

Hi,

It very simple to make your YUM work again...

Download SMART PACKAGE MANAGER FROM ANY REPO, it of about 800KBs. 

install through rpm -i package..

then issue the following command 

smart remove yum

smart install yum

and I hope you are done!!

Cheers!!

Baig
