[OT] Yum and other internet cr@p

[mascarasnake]

try "updatedb" and then "locate yum". From there get rid of all yum stuff.
Dangit, just manually shutting down a yum install shouldn't do this.

There is a bunch of stuff in /usr/share/yum that looks python 
related(.py and .pyc) but that's way over my head, so you may be right 
in that python is whacked. WAAAAAY over my head. keep us posted
