Please help with broken yum



I just did a "yum -y update", and am now at kernel
2.6.15-1.1831_FC4. Besides breaking other things,
yum will not run, and displays the error below.
I tried installing from a src rpm, but that didn't
help. I also tried upgrading, and downgrading yum
but that didn't help either. I also "forced" a
re-installation of python, and still it won't run
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



mybox:/> yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named cElementTree

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
