At a minimum, you will need to re-install the repo files for the particular version of Red Hat that you are on.

Thats what I did to make it unusable. I believe this was the culprit.

Code:

$ sudo wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/firefox4/fedora-firefox4.repo

This happened no matter what package I tried to install.

Code:

 sudo yum install jre

I added my repos back from a fedora live cd.

amqp-declare-queue

AMQP-DECLARE-QUEUE(1)						 RabbitMQ C Client					     AMQP-DECLARE-QUEUE(1)

NAME

       amqp-declare-queue - Declare (create or assert the existence of) a queue on an AMQP server

SYNOPSIS

       amqp-declare-queue [OPTION...] [-d] {-q queue name}

DESCRIPTION

       amqp-declare-queue attempts to create a queue on an AMQP server, and exits. If the empty-string is supplied as the queue name, a fresh
       queue name is generated by the server and returned. In all cases, if a queue was successfully declared, the (raw binary) name of the queue
       is printed to standard output, followed by a newline.

OPTIONS

       -q, --queue=queue name
	   The name of the queue to declare. If the empty string is supplied, a fresh queue name is generated by the server.

       -d, --durable
	   Causes the queue to be declared with the "durable" flag set. Durable queues survive server restarts. By default, queues are declared in
	   "transient" mode.

EXIT STATUS

       If the queue was successfully declared, the exit status is 0. If an error occurs, the exit status is 1.

EXAMPLES

       Declare the durable queue "myqueue", and display the name of the queue on standard output:

	       $ amqp-declare-queue -d -q myqueue
	       myqueue

       Declare a fresh, server-named transient queue, and display the name of the queue on standard output (use amqp-delete-queue(1) to delete it
       from the server once you're done):

	       $ amqp-declare-queue -q ""
	       amq.gen-BW/wvociA8g6LFpb1PlqOA==
