Strange. when I run that on my Centos 5.4, I get:

       # rpm -q yum
       yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos

which I would assume to be different than "yum-arch-..." I DO NOT find
yum-arch at all. Dunno what yum-arch contains, but I wonder if it is not
a complete yum installation. On the off-chance that it is, you could try:

ls -l `rpm -ql yum-arch-2.2.2-2.el5.kb` | less

to see what files it contains, and whether all of them are actually still
on your disk, or not.

And as others have suggested, you may want/need to download the appropriate
yum rpm file from a Centos mirror and install it with rpm before you can
actually use yum.
