Additional info:
Since the YUM Extender is installed, the "YUM update" command on terminal is also not working.

Comment 1 Tim Lauridsen 2009-09-07 06:29:43 UTC
This is a problem with your rpm db

Try to run these commands as root to fix it.

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* 
rpm --rebuilddb 

And then yum and yumex should work again.
