Wed Nov 05-15:08:28-root at haruhi:snmp> rpm -q yum
yum-3.2.19-3.fc9.noarch
Wed Nov 05-15:16:26-root at haruhi:snmp> rpm -V yum
Wed Nov 05-15:16:36-root at haruhi:snmp> rpm -ql yum |grep config
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.pyo

Wed Nov 05-15:17:51-root at haruhi:yum> ls  |grep config
config.py
config.pyc
config.pyo
Wed Nov 05-15:18:33-root at haruhi:yum> pwd
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum

And an Ftrace, that I don't see as providing much( The fancy error, as 
it was called, is really worthless):
Wed Nov 05-15:20:10-root at haruhi:yum> ftrace /usr/bin/yum
11917.11917 attached /usr/bin/python
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named config

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 15 2008, 18:24:56)
[GCC 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

11917.11917 exited with status 1
