Problem with yum after upgrading

[Frank]

  Hello list.

  I did an unsupported upgrade of my system from FC5 -> FC6 -> F7
 and now i need unofficial help :)

  Problem is, that my yum is failing when doing bigger things. Bigger means,
 that a "yum install xxx" or "yum uninstall yyy" is working as long as there are
 no bigger dependencies. When doing something bigger I get an error message
 like the following:

  I have already deinstalled and reinstalled yum and python-2.5 but
that didn't help.
 I guess I might have some old library somewhere on the system that is
not in the
 RPM database, but I didn't find one by now.

  BTW, i did the same upgrade on another system (to be exact a bit more, from
 FC4 up to F7) last week and that one is running without any problems.

  Does someone have a hint for me maybe?

  Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
 Frank
