yum compatibility w rpm-5.3

Heh, I so so so wish the script kiddie's would learn to program, sigh.

$ yum --help
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 254, in user_main
    errcode = main(args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 88, in main
    base.getOptionsConfig(args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 191, in getOptionsConfig
    self.conf
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 736, in <lambda>
    conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 251, in _getConfig
    startupconf = config.readStartupConfig(fn, root)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 832, in readStartupConfig
    startupconf.releasever = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 954, in _getsysver
    hdr = idx.next()
StopIteration

It's _INSANE_ to attempt to read an rpmdb with "yum --help".

JMHO, YMMV, everyone's does,

Whatever ... fix in a few. Might even be my RPM brain fart ...
