OK .. it seems that ATRPMS (a 3rd party repo) has a version of yum in
the EL4 repo that breaks centos 4:

http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/yum/

If you use *_ANY_* 3rd party repo *_IMHO_* you *_MUST_* use the
yum-priorities (or yum-plugin-priorities for CentOS-4) plugin to prevent
things like this from happening:
