Centos4 has come to an end of life which is causing errors when using yum. As a result, updating of SME server version 7.xx from server-manager or the
command line using standard commands is not currently possible.
An update has just been released and is now available in the repositories. This update is
the first step to resolve this by allowing yum to work again.
Users should, as soon as practical, update their servers
manually from the command line using the following command:
yum --disablerepo=base --disablerepo=updates update
You will need to be logged as root to perform this operation. Also note that more than one package may be installed depending on when you last updated your server.
Users are also encouraged to become familiar with SME 8 which is currently at Beta7 with a Release Candidate (RC1) to be released soon. To this end, please download the latest Beta version (8.0b7). Additional information can be found here:

Please report any bugs to Bugzilla.
Thanks.
