Ok, then you indeed have one of the old builds with the odd epoch numbers. You 
need to update from the tarball.

I am not entirely certain if there will be a side effect on Brian's packages. 
You may want to ask him about that. Just to be safe I'd suggest to uninstall 
them, run the update.sh or upgrade.sh script from the tarball. Once that is 
done, rum "yum update" a few times until it fetches no more updates and 
you're fully patched. Then reinstall whatever PKG you uninstalled.
