I have broken yum

[SoLost]

Hi,
I have some how managed to break my yum package installer. I am not new to linux but my skills are lacking.

if i do anything with yum the message i receive is

$yum
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Config Error: File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo, line: 1
'[google]\rname=Google - i386\rbaseurl=http//dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386\renabled=1\rgpgcheck=1\r^D\r\n'

I also tried yum clean all

yum clean all
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Config Error: File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo, line: 1
'[google]\rname=Google - i386\rbaseurl=http// dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386\renabled=1\rgpgcheck=1\r^D\r\n'

as a final resort i tried rpm -e yum

# rpm -e yum
error: Failed dependencies:

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try removing the google.repo fro your /etc/yum.repos.d/ dir and see it that fixes things.
