I haven't purposely upgraded it recently, but as I said in my initial post
I'm also getting similar problems with Kyum. Which is why I don't think
it's just a pirut problem, is the data for both of these programs common
and held somewhere that I can delete?

Both pirut and kyum depend upon yum (yum depends upon rpm) to do the
heavy lifting. Check /etc/yum.conf and the repo files under
/etc/yum.repos.d/ for changes. If you are not familiar with yum do a
"man yum" or "man yum.conf". Another resource is
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/Yum .

The contents of yum.conf on my system:

# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
