Please help: YUM Broken

Newsgroups gmane.linux.rpm.yum
Message-ID <[email protected]>
I have spent several weeks and after several posts to Fedora Core
mailing list, I am none the wiser,  I understand the recomendation to
reinstall, but this is expensive for me to do that because of software
that I had help in building so I am hoping for one last ditch effort
in case anyone knows something I could try ...

I think my yum problems are related to my accidental removal of
site-packages directory.
I have tried to recover these but with no luck.
Synaptic for me works OK.
But I really want Yum to work.
Can someone please help?
[root@localhost rpm]# yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named yum

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.4.2 (#3, Jan 31 2007, 17:36:26)
[GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to

I have tried to re-build Python2.5 from tar source but I get "No
module named yum."
