please try yum 3.2.17 from updates-testing and see if it works any better. Thanks.
Also what locale is this? It looks like de_DE.utf-8 ... although that works fine here with 3.2.17+ (and I'm not sure what would have changed to fix it, or even why 3.2.16 is failing for you).
Installed yum-3.2.17-2.fc9.noarch.rpm from updates-testing. Works fine. This new yum should be in stable! >> It looks like de_DE.utf-8 << Yes it is "de_DE.utf8"
