There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named sqlitecachec

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 11:02:11)
[GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-36)]

* the module missing changed, but no go.

Will install the newer -metadata-parser when it becomes visible...
