Yum problem

Hello all,

I installed the x86_64 on my athlon 64 X2 and everything worked fine
until I did the yum update.

I had installed several packages without a problem, then I ran yum
update and now when I try to install
any package I get hundreds of these lines:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1941, in install
    self.install(po=obsoleting_pkg)

Followed by this:

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1940, in install
    obsoleting_pkg = self.getPackageObject(obsoleting)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1648,
in getPackageObject
    pkgs = self.pkgSack.searchPkgTuple(pkgtup)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 526, in <lambda>
    pkgSack = property(fget=lambda self: self._getSacks(),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 362,
in _getSacks
    if self._pkgSack and thisrepo is None:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 29,
in __len__
    return len(self.simplePkgList())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line
328, in simplePkgList
    return self._computeAggregateListResult("simplePkgList")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line
378, in _computeAggregateListResult
    sackResult = apply(method, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 655,
in simplePkgList
    if not self.pkglist == None:
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp

I have removed yum, and reinstalled it and still the problem persists.

I have no idea what the problem is.

I appreciate any thoughts or ideas.
