I didn't get that exact error, but I got similar-looking python errors
mentioning sqlitesack.py.
It appears to have been caused by rhn_check flaking out halfway through
updating yum and its dependencies. This happened on about 10% of my
systems, mostly those with less RAM (I've noticed rhn_check seems to
chew up RAM then exits once it's consumed it all).
My solution was to
yum remove yum
then check what versions of yum-metadata-parser were still installed
using
rpm -qa | grep yum-metadata
I found I had 2 versions of this package and uninstalled them both using
"rpm -e".
then I manually downloaded and installed yum and its dependencies using
rpm -ivh
* yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6.x86_64.rpm
* yum-3.0.1-5.el5.noarch.rpm
* yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.2-5.el5_1.2.noarch.rpm
The last thing I had to do to get a general yum update to work was to
update yum itself.
yum update yum
I opened support ticket 1829802 where I posted this as well.

I updated yum using rpm and I now have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rhel5]# rpm -qa |grep yum
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5
yum-3.2.8-9.el5_2.1
yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-6.el5_2.6
my error occurs when I execute
cat /home/test2 | xargs yum install -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=/home/rhel5
where test2 is the result of
repoquery --repoid=rhel-i386-server-5 -a --envra --plugins| sed
's/.*://' > /home/test
these messages appear on screen:
Package lsof - 4.78-3.i386 is already installed.
Package eject - 2.1.5-4.2.el5.i386 is already installed.
Package libstdc++-devel - 4.1.2-42.el5.i386 is already installed.
Package libstdc++-devel - 4.1.2-42.el5.i386 is already installed.
Package wireless-tools - 1:28-2.el5.i386 is already installed.
but suddenly it fails with (and this did not happen prior to updating to 5.2)
