What versions of these do you have currently?
rpm -q up2date yum rpm rpm-devel

librpmio-4.3.so is part of the rpm-devel package so if you're going to
bugzilla this issue it should probably be against rpm since it is
independent of up2date/yum.  I don't see it there yet, but make sure to
do a search yourself in case I missed it.  Before you do that make sure
you have the latest versions of the above packages tho.
