yum broken

[Pete Pinter]

Another approach is to pull the latest rawhide version of yum (yum-2.9.5-4.noarch.rpm) from one of the mirrors and perform a:

rpm -Uvh yum-2.9.5-4.noarch.rpm

... which will get you back on track.

For example, I'm using a x86 box, so I found the latest yum at:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

Hth,

What is broken is the installonlyn plugin.  My guess is that there was an incompatible change to yum core and the plugin was not updated. As a temporary fix, move the installonlyn.* files from /usr/lib/yum-plugins.  That will let yum work without the plugin.
