I am having some problems installing the update.
root@entlrrdd01: /home/su248549 >yum upgrade libpng-1.6.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
Setting up Upgrade Process
Examining libpng-1.6.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm: libpng-1.6.27-3.ppc
libpng-1.6.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm: does not update installed package.

libpng-1.6.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm: does not update installed package.
Error: Nothing to do
I checked and the listing in YUM shows the following:
root@entlrrdd01: /root >yum list |grep libpng
libpng.ppc 2:1.6.9-1 installed
libpng-devel.ppc 1.6.27-3 AIX_Toolbox
I thought about uninstalling the old libpng package, but I would end up removing a fair number of packages to do so:
root@entlrrdd01: /home/su248549 >yum erase libpng.ppc

Any thoughts on a better way to approach updating this single package?

Subject: Issues with RRDTOOL and FREETYPE2 updates for LPAR2RRD
We are running our LPAR2RRD server on an AIX instance and try to keep up with the latest package releases for the AIX Toolbox. While we have managed to get perl 1:5.30.3-2 to update and run, we have not had any luck with getting rrdtool beyond version 1.7.0.3 and freetype2 beyond version 2.8-1. I know there was a bug in rrdtool 1.7.0.4, but I have tried all combinations of releases including 1.7.0.8 and cannot get rrdtool to load properly. The new version of freetype2 errors out no matter what version of rrdtool is running.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and/or has any insight into why these newer packages don't seem to work with LPAR2RRD.
Thanks,
Keith Barth
