Unable to check update due to a system error

So, interestingly I found the following:

And it appears to be a very similar error. I did some of the same checks:

# yum info python-dateutil

and checking LANG:

# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

and when I look at /usr/lib/yum-plugins/changelog.py at line 215, I have the same ‘garbage’:

            if self._since_dto == dateutil_parser.parse('garbage', fuzzy=True):
                # 'since' was a package name, not a date
                extcmds.insert(0, since)

Finally, once I change ‘garbage’ to since, like @DarkYamik suggested, then everything loads and works fine.

So not sure what is the issue, maybe a bug in the python date-util package?
