That is, /etc/yum.conf does not exist, but there is a file named
/etc/yum.conf~ that isn't being used by anything.  Such files normally
result from an editor renaming the original file as a backup when saving
changes to a new origina file.  If that backup file contains anything
useful, you might try mv'ing or cp'ing it to /etc/yum.conf, as root.  You
can't do it as a normal user.
