Hello

an update.
I updated to F14 (I got a CD from somewhere, it does not seem the latest
release, kernel was not updated.:
[root at localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Dec 3
12:28:58 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) 

latex is not working any more:
[root at localhost ~]# latex
latex: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

although:

> [root at localhost ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/ | grep libpoppler
> lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root root       24 Mar  4 14:16 libpoppler-glib.so.5 -> libpoppler-glib.so.5.0.0

> -rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root  1762644 Oct  7 12:00 libpoppler.so.7.0.0

It is still impossible to update texlive:

Also, I noticed that I got maybe too many yum.repos.d files:
[root at localhost ~]# locate yum.repos.d
/etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/texlive-f14.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/texlive-release.repo


HELP!
Any hint is very welcome
thanks 
mario
