The last package upgraded was
sqlite.i386 3.3.3-1.2

and now any yum command hangs forever with
"Reading repository metadata in from local files"
and then produces the error message below.

I read that the older sqlite version (3.2.8-1) works, but I'm not finding it.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.


[root@f]# yum search sqlite-3.2.8-1
