I FOUND FIX HALF WAY THRU WRIGHTING THIS REPORT
FIX LISTED @ BOTTOM

Description of problem:
I installed ALL avial. yum components on 3 dif machines ( all the same OS) with 
Add/Remove Packages (checked anything that said yum* -about 6-8 things i think)
now when I reopen Addd/Remove Packages or kyum or yumex i get an error


Component: Software Manager
Summary: TBfef41469 versionlock.py:45:exclude_hook:PluginYumExit: Unable to 
read version lock configuration: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or

^^^^This error was produced by Add/Remove Packages ^^^

yumex is saying "error in loading repository data"
and here is a copy of the out put

Mirrordetection : default
Yum Version : 2.6.1 (/usr/share/yum-cli)
Loading "fedorakmod" plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Loading "versionlock" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "kernel-module" plugin
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Reading version lock configuration

I did not get a chance to install Kyum on this computer so the kyum report will 
come from a differant one with an older kernel
