Thanks for the help, Bill.

I thought the sos was an s.o.s. :D

It had been 16 hours already and I'm on a 1.5meg dsl line so my guess is 
the interruption likely happened elsewhere.  I'm just the evil killer :)

If the problem arose because of that, how do I repair the damage?  I 
tried every yum thing I know, but removing python to re-install it would 
take most of the system with it.

The database is clean, no dupes, it verifies, and I'm stumped.

I just want my radio back ;(  <--- that's not a wink, it's a tear...
