RRDTool uses libgd to create its graphics, and always has.  The problem here
is another unpleasant side effect of the fact that libgd2 has (in my
opinion, unnecessarily) been split up into -xpm and -noxpm versions.  One is
needed by php4-gd, the other by RRDtool, and only one can be installed at a
time.
