Centos error: no package librrds-perl available

centos

I tried yum install librrds-perl

But I gave me this error:

no package librrds-perl available

How to fix this error?

It's not an error, there is no package named librrds-perl in CentOS.

CentOS follow RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). RHEL 6 is on the way, which means that CentOS 6 will also be released in a few weeks (estimate).

As posted in my comment, the package name was wrong. Here is how I fixed it to install on Ubuntu and CentOS.

package {"openjdk-6-jdk":
 ensure => installed,
 name => $operatingsystem ? {
   Ubuntu => "openjdk-6-jdk",
   CentOS => "java-1.6.0-openjdk",
 }
}
