In my opinion this is bad advice, as keeping the repo disabled (but
still obtaining packages from it occasionally) will mean you never
automatically receive updates to packages you've installed from it.

Instead, I recommend that you edit /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and add
the line "exclude=collectd*" under the "[epel]" heading. I've only ever
seen issues with the collectd packages from EPEL and no others.

If you want to be a bit stricter you can instead only
"include=" the packages that you are specifically interested
in. In my case that's too many packages to be practical.

Cheers,
Chris

Disable EPEL repo and repeat update

So when I go to my host and I run yum list collectd I see that collectd is 
available to install via EPEL repos. Note: I did not setup this cluster not 
sure if epel is normal.




So looks like my problem here has to do with the epel package being available 
and being newer?


Thank you all.

There is a warning on the ovirt site about enabling epel :-)

Disable the epel repo and just use yum install whatever
--enablerepo=epel just in case you need it.
