--- Comment #8 from Peter Poeml <poeml@xxxxxxxxxx>  2007-08-07 10:00:56 MST ---
There is a problematic package in the rpm database. It is the pmud
package (old -- with distribution tag 8.2.99), a package which doesn't
exist any longer in the distribution. yum seems to iterate over all
packages and check their requires/provides. When it comes to pmud, it
crashes because pkgid is not a string but an empty list. 

(debug output)
[...]
prcotup: ('fillup', None, (None, None, None))
hdr: <rpm.hdr object at 0x337e98f0>
po: cyrus-sasl-saslauthd - 2.1.22-69.ppc
prcotup: ('fillup', None, (None, None, None))
hdr: <rpm.hdr object at 0x337e9b00>
po: openssh - 4.6p1-36.ppc
prcotup: ('fillup', None, (None, None, None))
hdr: <rpm.hdr object at 0x337e9b30>
po: pmud - 0.10.1-58.ppc
prcotup: ('fillup', None, (None, None, None))
[crash]

After removing the pmud package everything suddenly works.

Thus, the problem occurs only with rpm databases which contain such a
problematic package (whatever the problem with the package was).
Likely the same as the issue reported here:
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2007-July/009963.html

Closing as worksforme...
