Troy, thank you for adding rrdtool to the SL distribution, but there is a minor problem: The 32-bit rrdtool is missing from the 64-bin distribution and yum bombs because already installed 32-bit ganglia packages require 32-bit librrd.so.2: (needless to say, this trivial problem then blocks all critical security updates) [root@ladd00 ~]# yum update rrdtool.i386 Loaded plugins: kernel-module Repository epel is listed more than once in the configuration Repository epel-source is listed more than once in the configuration Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Update Process Error: No Package Matching rrdtool.i386 [root@ladd00 ~]# yum update rrdtool.x86_64 Loaded plugins: kernel-module Repository epel is listed more than once in the configuration Repository epel-source is listed more than once in the configuration Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies There are unfinished transactions remaining.
