[Yum] _sqlite.DatabaseError

[Chris Watson]

Hello, (sorry if this gets double-posted)
I recently upgraded RHEL4.5 to CentOS4.8, and yum isn't working now. Here's
a stack trace:
*[root at occipital yum.repos.d]$* yum check-update
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?

I followed this thread (
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2005-November/007878.html), but
nothing helped. Here's some info:
*[root at occipital yum.repos.d]$* rpm -q yum
