A little more evidence to indicate something inside
libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 is different between sqlite and sqlite3 packages. 
I replace just the libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 file from sqlite package  with
the version from sqlite3 package and yum works again.  The is
something different about the libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 file between package
versions.

Here's my procedure:
Force the installation of  sqlite3-3.0.8-3.i386.rpm
using yum-2.3.1-2 python-sqlite-1.1.6-1 rpm-4.4.1-7
make sure rpm -V sqlite3   returns clean
make sure yum will operate   yum check-update  is enough to check
cp /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 somewhere safe
update to sqlite-3.1.2-1
make sure rpm -V sqlite returns clean
yum check-update will blow up
mv saved copy of libsqlite3.so.0.8.6  back to /usr/lib/
rpm -V sqlite returns S.5....T.   /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
yum check-update works again.


Was there ever a published sqlite3 package for version 3.1.2?  The
problem could be associated with internal sqlite library change
between 3.1.2 and 3.0.8.
