Apt to the rescue

So while upgrading python from a limited local repository I broke yum

[root@NTC-BASE-2 ~]# yum -y install foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ?
    import yummain
ImportError: No module named yummain
<code>
 
However apt was still working
<code>
[root@NTC-BASE-2 ~]# rpm -e yum
[root@NTC-BASE-2 sources.list.d]# apt-get update
