YUM Failing on 2 machines

I have been having issues with YUM on two FC7 boxes. It fails during the
loading of the primary.sqlite.bz2 files but it is not a consistent
repository that causes the issue.

I tried: Change the kernel, disable http_caching, yum clean all, yum clean
metadata, disabling some/all of the repo's.

Sometimes (very rare) it works but will fail the next time it is run.

The first box is running kernel 2.6.23.1-21.fc7 and yum-3.2.8-2.fc7. It has
a number of additional repositories. I have tried disabling them and also
removing their config files.
Box two is running kernel 2.6.21-1.3194-FC7 and yum-3.2.0-1.fc7. This just
has the standard repos.

Here is the output from the first machine. 

[root@media1 ~]# yum update

cur = cache.cursor()

The other machine looks much the same but with different line numbers.

 

Thanks
