Hi,

Just tried to install the new TeXLive packages on Fedora 16 / 64-bit.

I did:
# yum clean all
# yum update texlive
*SNIP*

I have previously ran "yum install texlive*" without any extra 
tex-related repositories.

Removing package "mendexk", which was required by the (also removed) 
package "texlive-east-asian" seems to have solved the problem.

It looks like texlive-ptex-bin should obsolete/replace package mendexk.
