 Fedora 14 moved from Python-2.6 to Python-2.7, it looks like the rpm
transaction failed between updating the python and yum packages.
 You could try using rpm to install yum from /var/cache/yum/* ... and
any deps. that it requires. If that works I'd then use "yum history
redo last" (or try yum-complete-transaction) and then "yum reinstall yum ..."
