on a CentOS box which had Cpanel installed i was trying to install subversion, and it wouldnt' install with yum, so i downloaded the rpm's from the subversion website. sqlite on this machine was at 3.3 and subversion needed 3.5
when i tried to upgrade, it just gave me a conflict error. So i was like, screw it, i'll just remove 3.3 and install 3.5
now on most of the OS's i've used (like freebsd for instance) when you remove a port/package, it will allow you to do this regardless of the files which may depend on it. On Centos apparently, it removes EVERYTHING which depends on it...unfortunately for sqlite 3.3 this included yum and rpm and about 100 other important things.
I completely borked the install.
