I didn't get that exact error, but I got similar-looking python errors
mentioning sqlitesack.py.
It appears to have been caused by rhn_check flaking out halfway through
updating yum and its dependencies. This happened on about 10% of my
systems, mostly those with less RAM (I've noticed rhn_check seems to
chew up RAM then exits once it's consumed it all).
My solution was to
yum remove yum
then check what versions of yum-metadata-parser were still installed
using
rpm -qa | grep yum-metadata
I found I had 2 versions of this package and uninstalled them both using
"rpm -e".
then I manually downloaded and installed yum and its dependencies using
rpm -ivh
* yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6.x86_64.rpm
* yum-3.0.1-5.el5.noarch.rpm
* yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.2-5.el5_1.2.noarch.rpm
The last thing I had to do to get a general yum update to work was to
update yum itself.
yum update yum
I opened support ticket 1829802 where I posted this as well.

Nik
