Eventually I got a url for a mirror, found the new yum, downloaded and 
installed it.  I still have the same problem.  By now I'm almost convinced 
that $releasever either isn't set, or is passing a wrong version.  Googling 
seems to add weight to this idea.

How do I find the current value of $releasever?  If it's wrong, is the correct 
command

SET $releasever = 10

?
