Fedora Users — After updating per instructions, does yum break?


I followed the instructions per:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Enabling_new_signing_key#Known_Issues

So the steps were for me:

1) Get the Key:

a) F8:http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/fedora-release/8/6.transition/data/signed/4f2a6fd2/noarch/fedora-release-8-6.transition.noarch.rpm

b) F9:http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/fedora-release/9/5.transition/data/signed/4f2a6fd2/noarch/fedora-release-9-5.transition.noarch.rpm


2) rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-8-and-9
3) yum --skip-broken update
4) Wait until the yum package is fixed and added to the repository, then:
   a) yum update yum
   b) yum update yum-utils

Is this right?

But this looks like the chicken/egg problem...  yum is definitely
broken after updates even if if the --skip-broken option is selected
such as below:

# yum --skip-broken list
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module>
   yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True)
 File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 243, in user_main
   errcode = main(args)
 File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 98, in main
   base.getOptionsConfig(args)
 File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 183, in getOptionsConfig
   disabled_plugins=self.optparser._splitArg(opts.disableplugins))

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 180, in_getConfig

   startupconf.pluginconfpath,disabled_plugins)

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 342, indoPluginSetup

   plugin_types, confpath, disabled_plugins)

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 151, in__init__

   self._importplugins(types)

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 193, in_importplugins

   self._loadplugin(modulefile, types)

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 226, in_loadplugin

   module = imp.load_module(modname, fp, pathname, description)
 File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/filter-data.py", line 111
   ('committers', 'committer')]
                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So, the question is - how do I fix this problem?
