I do not have either mono or sysinfo installed. So, I can only assume

mono an implementation of .NET for Linux?)

Did you try :

yum remove sysinfo*

and then :

yum update

You got it, I think. The first command took only that one thing.

Then yum update ran -- and, oddly, when I then told it "yum
install sysinfo," it found no such package. I made that "sysinfo*" and it
seems to be looking harder and further afield ...
