Thank you for your help.

I've updated now to yum-2.4.1-1.fc4 but the error message has only 
slightly changed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?
    yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 67, in main
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 379, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

Please help.

Thank you
Roland
