Erik,

What version of yum are you using? 

yum --version will tell you.

Did you make any changes recently to yum, python, or rpm?  Have you
installed any software "outside" of yum or RPM (i.e. by doing a make &
make install)?

For repositories, see http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq#Q2

The short answer is that we don't know.  But you might find some tips
by looking around on the pages linked from here:
