There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
/usr/lib64/librpmbuild-4.4.so: symbol gelf_getvernaux, version ELFUTILS_1.0 not defined in file libelf.so.1 with link time reference
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.4.3 (#1, Dec 22 2011, 12:12:01)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)]
