I tried (as root) the "mkdir /var/cache/yum" and got the following error message: "mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/cache/yum': No such file or directory" I'm guessing it may be because I'm running FC2 and not FC3, which has a new and different yum? Do you think I should just reinstall yum?

    ----
did you delete /var/cache itself?
ls -l /var/cache
if not found
mkdir /var/cache
mkdir /var/cache/yum
might as well make
/var/cache/alchemist
and if you use samba (no doubt you would have noticed the effects of the
delete if you do much at all with samba)
/var/cache/samba
