Good. I'll run the i386 one now.

Well, that machine is not used for much so I didn't worry about keeping
backup/previous version stuff. It was a full updated CentOS 4.7. So
whatever fully-updated yum is what I had.

All the plugins that come standard.

I know that may not be that helpful, but I didn't have a lot of time and
the machine wasn't critical, so I let things slide.

Now it has yum-utils-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1
           yum-plugin-fastestmirror-0.2.4-3.c4
           yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-12.el4.hrb.1
           yum-plugin-priorities-0.0.7-2.c4 (enabled in all repos)
           yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1
           yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4 (disabled in all repos)

Ok. That yum is the one I picked up: yum-3.2.19-18.el4.hrb.

Do I need to regress to stock from here or is there a quick and dirty
manual fix I can apply? I will run the relese file regardless.
