YUM doesn't not work

[seba bino]

Yum is still Broken.
Synaptic appears to work OK
I install smart using synaptic; try to run it and get:
[root at localhost ~]# smart
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 27, in ?
    from smart import init, initDistro, initPlugins, initPsyco
ImportError: No module named smart

Is there any way I can get smart or Yum to work without having to reinstall?
thank you in advance for any advice as to what I could try,
