Fedora Core 9, Issues with YUM 3.2.19

[popasmuerf]

Has anyone run into this error message while running
# yum update
-or-
# yum install <package>

this is the tail end of an attempt to run either command:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x85 in position 73: ordinal not in range(128)

I have tried to both upgrade and downgrade the yum package...and still no luck. I am starting to think it is not yum itself...but a repo file that is causing the issue.

Any ideas ?
