Your problem may be linked to your python problem. Yum and it's
associated applications such as pirut require python. You should read
the release notes to see if you have all of the python components
installed. You might check to see if you also to have the x86 (32-bit)
packages installed. (I cannot tell you if this is the case since I
have not yet installed the x86_64 version of F8,)
