Description of problem:
Running "yum update" to update fc4-test2 this morning resulted in the error:

NameError: global name 'yum' is not defined

Reducing the total number of packages to less than 50 allowed a successful
install of all packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.3.2-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update

To reduce the list of packages, I used commands similar to "yum update 'e*'".

Expected Results:  Packages being installed.

Subsets of the entire set of packages have install successfully.  I'll
continue whittling down the list until the entire list installs or a bad
package is found. (will finish before submitting this bug report)

Once there was only 49 packages remaining, yum update installed without
problems.
