Rep:
remove libcurl by mistake!
I just remove libcurl without realising it removes yum and rpm.
How do I get it back?
Code:
root@server init.d]# yum remove libcurl

Restore from backup? 'wget' all packages from your Centos repo, boot the Centos installer CD, mount partitions, chroot into it then re-install?

No backup as it is a new server but I do not have a CD as it is a dedicated server in a data centre.
Can't I just copy the rpm package from somewhere stick it in /bin/rpm and it will work?

Next time do mention essentials in your OP please. Sure you can copy package contents over as long as (the %arch matches ;-p and) you afterwards install packages properly.

What do I need to copy to have rpm and yum work again?
Is it just the /bin/yum and /bin/rpm?
Is there anything else like the repo folder or other?

Basically pick from what you listed above, right? I mean the list is already there. IIRC it'll be something like rpm, libsqlite, rpm-libs, python, rpm-python, python-elementtree, python-iniparse, python-sqlite, urlgrabber, popt, gnupg. /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d are in Yum and yum.repos.d contents are in the %{reponame}-release.* rpms.

Sorry, but I'm not sure where all those are?
Isn;t there a way to download rpm and install it directly?
So, I need all those folders from another linux machine to get it to work again?
Code:
[root ~]# locate rpm
/bin/rpm
/etc/ipsec.secrets.rpmsave
/etc/rpm
/etc/yum.conf.rpmnew
/etc/X11/fs/config.rpmsave
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpmforge-extras.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpmforge-testing.list

Can I just copy /bin/rpm from another server
then run wget yum
then build yum?

I listed rpm, libsqlite, rpm-libs, python, rpm-python, python-elementtree, python-iniparse, python-sqlite, urlgrabber, popt, gnupg already?

Code:
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Missing libraries or symbolic links.
As root:

# * for RPM in rpm sqlite rpm-libs python rpm-python python-elementtree python-iniparse python-sqlite python-urlgrabber popt gnupg; do rpm -q $RPM --scripts; done > /tmp/scripts
# * (not that there are any that would affect this).
#
# Package files (the --exclude lines are for %tsflags and ensuring we get either a pristine RPMDB or use the existing one):
tar -cf /tmp/rpm.tar --exclude=/var/lib/rpm --exclude /var/spool/repackage $(rpm -ql rpm sqlite rpm-libs python rpm-python python-elementtree python-iniparse python-sqlite python-urlgrabber popt gnupg)
# Copy over. Of course you're using an unprivileged user account...
scp /tmp/rpm.tar unprivilegeduser@server:/tmp/
ssh unprivilegeduser@server
su -l
# "-C /" ensures you unpack in / and not somewhere else:
tar -C / -xf /tmp/rpm.tar
#... gets you all files including symbolic links.
# Update linker cache while we're at it:
ldconfig
# ...and check if the RPMDB is still there:
ls -al /var/lib/rpm
# If it's not let me know.
