Typing the following made the update of all the other texlive packages
possible:

yum remove texlive-ptserif texlive-ptsans
yum update
yum install texlive-paratype


If I recall correctly, 'yum  remove ...' above also removed the
following packages for dependencies, so I'm listing them below in case
somebody wants to reinstall them:

texlive-collection-fontsextra
texlive-dejavu
texlive-dejavu-fedora-fonts
texlive-dutchcal
texlive-dutchcal-fedora-fonts
texlive-opensans
texlive-opensans-fedora-fonts
texlive-pxtxalfa

Best,
Michael
