My yum got hosed after installing some faulty test packages...it dies
with an "ImportError: No module named rpm" when I try to run it. As
this was a couple months back, I imagine there are decent packages out
now.
What packages would anyone suggest I reinstall (from rpm) to fix
this? I'm guessing something python-related, but I'm not certain
what. Thanks.

when yum breaks - try 'up2date'.. Or else 'apt' :) [in case of python
related breakages]

I'd imagine you installed the 2.4 python from the development tree and
did not update yum and/or its dependancies from the development tree.
fc3 has python 2.3 and the directories where python modules exist are
python version specific. You install python 2.4 and python no longer
sees the modules in the 2.3 directories.
SO
check your installed python version
check the yum version
check the version of all the packages yum depends on
compare those versions against the versions in the fc3 tree and the
development tree... and make sure you have a consistent set.

I'm seeing the same thing and I've just done a fresh install of FC3 and
then started trying to update to development.
So far I've run:
yum update yum
I then had to do a little manual installation of the packages downloaded
because yum decided for some reason no to actually install the packages.
Packages included in this upgrade were:
slib-3a1-2.noarch.rpm
readline-*
python-2.4-3.i386.rpm
lvm2-2.01.03-1.0.i386.rpm
bc-1.06-18.i386.rpm
ftp-0.17-24.i386.rpm
lftp-3.0.13-1.i386.rpm
parted-1.6.21-1.i386.rpm
cadaver-0.22.2-1.i386.rpm
samba-client-3.0.10-4.i386.rpm
ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-6.i386.rpm
pilot-link-0.11.8-10.i386.rpm
guile-1.6.4-18.i386.rpm
python-devel-2.4-3.i386.rpm
pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-10.i386.rpm
gphoto2-2.1.5-3.i386.rpm
alchemist-1.0.35-1.i386.rpm
samba-common-3.0.10-4.i386.rpm
python-ldap-2.0.1-3.i386.rpm
db4-*
device-mapper-1.01.00-1.i386.rpm
perl-5.8.6-3.i386.rpm
gimp-print-utils-4.2.7-4.i386.rpm
cdecl-2.5-31.i386.rpm
system-config-printer-*
gnome-python2-*
pyparted-1.6.9-2.i386.rpm
libxml2-*
pam-*
sendmail-8.13.3-1.i386.rpm
openoffice.org-*
dmraid-1.0.0.rc5f-3.i386.rpm
yum-2.1.13-1.noarch.rpm
compat-db-4.2.52-2.i386.rpm
compat-readline43-4.3-1.i386.rpm
(sorry about the *, this is a cut and paste from a rpm -Fvh effort).
I also had to remove pam-ccreds and then install it again using the
version from development after installing the compat-* packages.
It might be worth noting that during the install I got the following
output: (note the error after installing system-config-printer)

[rodd@trevally packages]$
Now when I try to run yum i get:
[rodd@trevally packages]$ sudo yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ?
import yum
File "__init__.py", line 21, in ?
ImportError: No module named rpm
[rodd@trevally packages]$
Given that all these packages were downloaded as a result of updating
yum using yum from development, I'd be keen to know what yum failed to
include that it should have.

I recognize this. I ran into it a little while back when trying to
upgrade a box that had too little disk space to do it all at once. Turns
out that somewhere in the RPM/yum stack there's an SELinux dependency
that shows up at runtime. I don't really know what's going on, but at
least for me it went away after updating libselinux. (Of course, since
both yum and up2date use the rpm Python bindings and a simple "import
rpm" in yum is what dies, well, they're both hosed at the moment so
you'll have to download and 'rpm -Uvh' that package manually.)
Turns out we're not the only ones to hit this, it's in bugzilla:

Good luck,

I ran into this problem aswell, and fixed it by installing python, rpm,
and yum from the development tree.
