Quite strange. How did you apply those updates?
PackageKit? yum? With what command?
Is there anything non standard in your /etc/yum.conf ?
Can you attach it, or the /etc/yum.conf.rpmsave file?
There was a PackageKit "Bug" icon on my Gnome top panel.. I clicked it,
it said "update system now?", I clicked "yes" & the rest, as they say,
is history!
I don't appear to have either of the files you mention! All that
remains of yum is :
[Dave@localhost pluginconf.d]$ dir
fastestmirror.conf.rpmsave presto.conf.rpmsave
fedorakmod.conf.rpmsave refresh-packagekit.conf.rpmsave
kernel-module.conf.rpmsave remove-with-leaves.conf.rpmsave
Just did a nautilus search on yum & got the following:

I'm a bit mystified by the rawhide & testing repos in that list, as I
have never (knowingly) installed or activated them...

You can try (if you have a i386 install):
rpm -ivh
http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386.newkey//yum-3.2.20-5.fc9.noarch.rpm
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh
http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386.newkey//yum-3.2.20-5.fc9.noarch.rpm
Retrieving
http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386.newkey//yum-3.2.20-5.fc9.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
pygpgme is needed by yum-3.2.20-5.fc9.noarch
python-iniparse is needed by yum-3.2.20-5.fc9.noarch
[root@localhost ~]#
Seems like yum is more an "ummmm"!
And that should hopefully get you yum back.
Then you should be able to 'yum install' all the other items you are
missing.
I would sure like to know how and why it removed packages however.
