yum/rpm propblem

[sander815]

something went wrong, cannot recall it, but when i do this, i get strange output. It used to work fine:

[root@]# yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
import yummain
File "yummain.py", line 21, in ?
File "clientStuff.py", line 18, in ?
ImportError: librpm-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@]# rpm
-bash: rpm: command not found
[root@]#

what has happenend now?

If the root user can't find the RPM program either it's been removed by someone, or worse (such as a system hack).
