There is one feature of yum working:
yum --version
3.2.8
Anything else results in errors. e.g. yum help
yum help
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "dellsysidplugin" plugin

On another 64 bit machine I used yumdownloader to get the existing default
selection of rpm packages, copied them to the broken host and forced an
install from rpm - no difference. Also tried installing
python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1.x86_64.rpm
again as one report said that worked. No luck.
The rpm database seems fine - can run any rpm commands or queries.
The net is littered with reports on this and there doesn't seem to be
a typical cause.
Does anyone have a solution for this - running on Redhat 5.2 ?
