Hmmm, that's a really strange problem.
if there were no strange problems, i would have no problems. ;-)
yum really doesn't have anything to do with your system clock. It just installs, updates and removes packages. I've never used 'yumex' but i assume it just runs yum behind the scenes.
i would think not, but something is happening.
The only thing I can think of is that your system is installing a tzdata package and failing, and somehow you're replacing the time zone with the original each time you fix it. Since your date is listed as -0500, it would seem likely that it is related.
time change happens even when there is no tzdata package.
-0500 = utc -0600 daylight savings time = utc -0500
thank you for responding.
