OK. I have erased the old packages, and installed the latest 
versions of those two packages:

  collectd-sensors       i386       4.10.2-1.el5

Could this be anything to do with me loosing my RPM 
database, and having to rebuild it again?

I'll try installing manually with the other packages that 
won't upgrade due to 'missing' dependencies.

Kind Regards,
