Looks like this version has a major dependency failure, where yum misses 
the _existence_ of certain packages, if these are going to be updated. 
See attached log. 

E.g.:

~# rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.8-32

~# yum list perl
base-comm                 100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00     
base                      100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00     
update                    100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00     
packman                   100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00

Installed Packages
perl.i586                                5.8.8-32               installed       
Available Packages
perl.i586                                5.8.8-34               update          

~# yum update 2>&1 | grep HMAC  ## just a random perl dependant package pattern
--> Processing Dependency: perl = 5.8.8 for package: perl-Digest-HMAC
--> Processing Dependency: perl = 5.8.8 for package: perl-Digest-HMAC
perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-525.i586 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: perl = 5.8.8 is needed by package perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-525.i586 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: perl = 5.8.8 is needed by package perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-525.i586 (installed)

See: perl 5.8.8-32 is installed, 5.8.8-34 would be updated, but yum errors
out with missing perl dependency.

Note: I did run a 'yum clean all' before.

Same problem goes for python, java, dbus-1-glib, kdelibs3, libxml, in short,
all major components of a typical linux installation, openSUSE 10.2 in this
case. In order to check, if those vanish, I installed the python update 
manually, just in case you're missing the python related errors in the 
attached log. They where there _before_.

~# rpm -q yum yum-metadata-parser
yum-3.2.13-1
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1

Let me know, if you need more details.

Cheers,
Pete
