That just means that your yum.conf file has been modified.  Perhaps
you changed some settings there?  I don't think that's causing the
problem you're having.

Okay, perhaps it'd be good to check the versions you have of yum,
python, and python-elementtree.  What's the output of:

$ rpm -q python python-elementtree yum

There are a few entries in bugzilla with this error, one of them was
caused by a python-elementtree update from RPMforge, something not
provided by Fedora.
