write_graphite should not be linked against libyajl ! Congrats, you found a genuine bug :-) I just submitted a patch upstream to fix this: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/1976 In the meantime, installing libyajl2 should be harmless, and is probably the only possible workaround. Thanks for reporting this problem ! Marc
