I just tried to run "yum update" this evening and this happened:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree.so: undefined symbol:
PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8
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 (#2, May 3 2005, 17:14:18)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
Any ideas?

I'm not seeing that on my FC4 box. I show the following components:
[root@bend ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree.so
python-elementtree-1.2.6-4
[root@bend ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides `which python`
python-2.4.3-8.FC4
[root@bend ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides `which yum`
yum-2.4.1-1.fc4
and everything works as expected:
[root@bend ~]# yum update; date

Same result on a FC4 x86_64 box.
Since Python is complaining about some sort of unicode symbol, any
chance you have a peculiar language or character set specified?
Cheers,
