This looks like your rpmdb is hosed in one of two ways:

1. You force installed something (less likely, I think). But try: package-cleanup --problems ... that should not show anything.

2. Your provides index is screwed, this happens often enough that newer yum now looks for it ... the only way to easily see it with the RHEL-5 version is something like:

  yum provides python-abi
  rpm -qa --provides | fgrep python-abi

...if the first doesn't show anything, and the second does then you can try: rpm --rebuilddb ... to fix the indexes.
