Re: I broke yum

Hello,
it seems that you have seriously trashed your yum.
In order to reinstall it, you have to choose the right version (your 
installed python is newer than the requested one, so I guess that you 
tried to install a too old version of yum.

Browse to a repository for your installed version of the OS, download 
the found yum (it should be newer than the one you tried; maybe it helps 
to type
rpm -q yum
to get the proper version. Then try to install yum using rpm. If there 
are more unresolved dependencies, download these also and install them, 
by calling
rpm -U yum*.rpm <and all other packages>
until the problem is resolved.
Since you have a quite old OS installed, I would also suggest to upgrade 
to a newer version.
