Just delete the /var/lib/rpm/__* files if you have trouble, there is no
need to do --rebuilddb and definitely not --initdb!

The invalid baseurl thing is a network level yum error that is unrelated
to the rpm __ file stuff. What exactly is it saying about that?

In a seperate window: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [errno 256] No more
mirrors to try.

Several of my files in /etc/yum.repos.d have been edited, and paths are
probably AFU, it might be best to just replace the default file so I know
they're good again, but there doesn't seem to be a net accessable set of
these files available that google can find. The yum rpm is empty in that
part of the tree. Bummer...
