Hello again,

thanks for the offer, Matthew. I didn't really consider rpmbuild tools,
for some reason (maybe I haven't done enough manual compiling on fedora
yet).
I overlooked the fact that removing evince-dvi (only!) works and breaks
the dependency conflict, the rest of evince stays intact. Jindrich, you
mentioned it, but when I replied earlier I hadn't realized this fact.
For now I'll live without dvi support and build from source if the need
arises.

Thanks, folks!

Sebastian

PS: Btw, is there a good writing about what the different texlive
collections contain or which ones to install "first"? I was thinking
about reducing the texlive footprint a little but it's hard to decide
which packages to leave out (from all 380 packages that would get
upgraded as it is right now).

PPS: There was a discussion about this dependency earlier in bugzilla,
bug #426388.
