That worked for me, thanks. I just did "yume remove rrdtool" before the update and "yume install ganglia-gmetad" after the update. Since it was only on the head node that wasn't a huge problem.
It doesn't seem like a great default behavior though since it would be fairly easy (I would think) to say "ok, updating rrdtool would break this other package, so I won't do that". Or maybe have an override behavior that says "update as much as you can without breaking any dependencies" at least. Which it probably does, but I didn't see any on my quick googling.
