The problem is that logwatch is configured to use the wrong date format when parsing the yum log file. In order to fix this, a custom date- parsing script is needed. This is the attachment to Comment #9 in the bugzilla report referenced above, which should be put in the file /etc/log.d/scripts/logfiles/yum/applydate (you'll probably need to create the directory /etc/log.d/scripts/logfiles/yum and make the script executable). The other thing you need to do is to edit /etc/log.d/conf/logfiles/yum.conf and remove the line that says "*ApplyUSDate", again as mentioned in Comment #9. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
