Can't update CentOS, rrdtool dependency issue

Problem I'm unsure of how to solve it without ruining my production server..

When I run yum update I get the following error:

--> Processing Dependency: rrdtool = 1.4.4 for package: perl-rrdtool
--> Processing Dependency: librrd.so.4 for package: perl-rrdtool
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
perl-rrdtool-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.i386 from dag has depsolving problems

It seems I need rrdtool updated first to 1.4.4. Currently rrdtool 1.2.30 is installed. Yum update rrdtool gives me:

No Packages marked for Update

How should I proceed??

in /etc/yum.conf
exclude the perl-rrdtool*

don't forget to backup /etc/yum.conf before you edit it.

Check to make sure rrdtool is not excluded in yum.conf

I just verified rrdtool is available via yum.
