Afraid not ...

kenj@vm14:~$ rpm -qf /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/json
pcp-pmda-json-3.10.5-19.x86_64

Ahhh ... but this is 3.10.5 ... consider this

kenj@vm14:~$ rpm -qf /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/sample
pcp-libs-devel-3.10.7-2.x86_64

kenj@vm14:~$ grep JSON /usr/include/pcp/builddefs
HAVE_PYTHON_JSONPOINTER = true
PMDA_JSON = false

Looks like I just need to explicitly remove the old pcp-pmda-json ... I 
wonder why this did not cause all sorts of rpm compaints, surely there 
are some dependencies that are needed, but perhaps they are >= 3.10.5 
and so the new packages satisfy the dependencies?
Any way, real punters would probably not have seen this issue.
