Also pirut uses yum. yum uses python-sqlite, sqlite brought out the bug 
in python-sqlite which caused yum to seem to be bad or pirut or another 
front-end to yum if you used another alternative.

Downgrading sqlite (not desired, since it only masks the python-sqlite 
bug) or downloading the above (or later for archival purposes) version 
of python-sqlite and installing it via rpm will get things straightened out.

I think the above is correct.
