Based on the above posts I ran :
yum remove rhn-applet

then I ran:
 yum update 

and finally I ran:
yum install rhn-applet

Unfortunately  I think that this comment was a good point but I had already 
run the commands:

So, now when I try and run yum update I get this:

root at Issac # yum update
The yum libraries do not seem to be available on your system for this version 
of python  2.3.4 (#1, Feb  2 2005, 12:11:53)
[GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)]
Please make sure the package you used to install yum was built for your 
install of python.

Any chance I can fix it, or is it time to move to FC4 ?
