Thanks Chris and Kevin.

Here's the output of both those query commands:

[root at karsites ~]# yum list collectd\*

[root at karsites ~]# rpm -q collectd collectd-sensors
collectd-4.10.2-1.el5
collectd-sensors-4.10.2-1.el5

So it looks like collectd-sensors is showing for upgrade, 
but the required collectd matching upgrade is not being 
found?

If this was due to my repository priorites, then surely the 
collectd-sensors upgrade would not be found either?

Can I manually install the missing collectd package 
directly from EPEL?

Kind Regards,
