[root at secure ~]# up2date --showall | grep sysstat
sysstat-5.0.5-15.0.1.el4.i386
...which takes a list of *all available* packages (up2date --showall)
and then only shows you those which match sysstat (grep sysstat). What
you should have been running instead is "rpm -qa|grep sysstat", which
queries the list of installed packages. When you ran "up2date sysstat"
what you actually did is to install it (not update it).
