Description of problem:
Yum records its transactions (Install/Update/Erase) into yum.log with the time.
Normally, in the case of Install or Update, yum records the time in English (may be in locale 'C') even if yum is invoked in Japanese locale (LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8")
However, in the case of Erase, yum records the time in Japanese when it is invoked in LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8".
It is inconvenient that multiple time formats are mixed in one log.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.8-2.fc8

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
2. $ sudo yum erase <something>
3. $ sudo tail /var/log/yum.log

Actual Results:
An entry in Japanese time format is recorded into yum.log like following.

> Feb 14 22:13:42 Updated: yelp - 2.20.0-7.fc8.i386
>  2月 16 14:37:05 Erased: kernel


Expected Results:
An entry in English (C locale) time format is recorded.

> Feb 14 22:13:42 Updated: yelp - 2.20.0-7.fc8.i386
> Feb 16 14:37:05 Erased: kernel


Additional info:
Another difference in log between Install/Update and Erase exists:
Yum also records the version of involved rpm in the case of Install or Update, but yum doesn't record the version number in the case of Erase.
That is also inconvenient when multiple versions of kernel packages are installed and I erase one version of these kernel packages like in the example above.
In this case, I cannot know which version of the kernel is erased from the log.
