Hello List

I am running centos 4. When I run yum update I get this test and an error
that says KeyError: epoch.

What could the issue be. Google has not been my friend in resolving this
so far.

Below is the full text:

If anyone knows what I am doing wrong I would much appreciate a point in
the right direction.

Thank you
