CentOS - Nov 2007 - Yum update fails

I updated my centos 4.5 server to centos last week and I am now getting
errors when I attempt to do a yum update:

[root at AJD-slag ~]# yum update

Plugin "fastestmirror" uses deprecated constant TYPE_INTERFACE.

Any suggestions, Google has not been my friend today.

This line right here looks very suspicious to me, as centos 4.x
doesn't have  python 2.4, it comes with 2.3.x.
