Yes. It is caused by the fact that Fedora evince is linked against old
kpathsea library. The new and old kpathsea libraries can not actually
coexist so the only solution is to remove evince-dvi. Then you can
alternatively build evince locally against the new TeX Live.

I can not obsolete evince-dvi because then the local build and
installation of the new evince would be impossible.
