I had something similar on some systems I maintain (older yum version), and it turned out to be an invalid setting of the LC_ALL environment variable. Worth checking if you have LC_ALL and/or LC_TIME environment variables set to valid values? (unsetting them should be a good test of this). In my case it was a suggested setting of "default" from the Sybase install docs which caused problems.
