This would indicate that you have no python 2.2.3 installed on your
system. Would be curious as yum has a dependency on python.

/usr/lib/python2.3 -> ouch! yum and up2date are critical for the python
version they are compiled against. In some way you made bad things.

I do not know what to suggest. You might think over uninstalling all
python packages, but I think this will not work as rpm requires python
(IMHO). Hard to say what's best. At least check which packages ship with
Fedora Core 1, check which of those you have installed and which you
installed are not part of FC1. Uninstall those python packages.
