Installing yum and createrepo

Hello all,
I'm stuck with a problem on REDHAT Enterprise (uname -r show: 2.4.21-57.ELsmp)

The only way to install package is using RPM, but since I'm a newbie I got a lot of dependencies warnings. I installed yum, but the problem now is that I'm not able to create a local repository to install package (the machine is not connected to internet).

I created all the yum related directories (/var/yum/5Server/Server) and pu the rpm into "Server". I also create e repodata directory.

Now I need to use createrepo app, but I'm not able to install it. I'm getting crazy since using RPM I received a lot of errors/dependencies warnings (see below).

Could someone advice on how install createrepo and on how update the outdated yum installation???

Code:

rpm -i createrepo-0.9.6-3_10.el4.noarch.rpm 
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
error: Failed dependencies:

yum-debug-dump

yum-debug-dump(1)														 yum-debug-dump(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-dump - write system RPM configuration to a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-dump

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-dump is a program which creates a gzipped file containing a lot of information useful to developers trying to debug a problem.

       By default it will output a file to the current working directory named yum_debug_dump-<hostname>-<time>.txt.gz. This file contains no pri-
       vate information but does contain a complete list of all packages you have installed, all packages available in any  repository,  important
       configuration and system information.  You can view this file using the 'zless' command.

       You can use the coresponding program yum-debug-restore to act on this file and restore a set of packages (much like dump/restore).

FILES

       As  yum-debug-dump  uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-restore (1)
       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq  and	if
       unsuccessful  in  finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
