Hi all,

after installing texlive 2011 on fedora 16 I experience problems using 
fedora 16!

How to reproduce:
1. install fedora 16
2. install PyX: su -c 'yum install PyX'
3. install texlive 2011
4. try to update: su -c 'yum update -y'



actual output:
. ..
Error: Package: PyX-0.11.1-1.fc16.x86_64 (fedora-updates)
  Requires: libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit)
  Removing: kpathsea-2007-66.fc16.x86_64 (fedora)
  libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit)
  Obsoleted By: texlive-kpathsea-doc-2011-8.svn24904.noarch (texlive)
  Not found
  Available: kpathsea-2007-65.fc16.x86_64 (fedora)
  libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest




workaround:
1. su -c 'vi /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive-release.repo'
2. change from
enabled=1
to
enabled=0
3. su -c 'yum clean all && yum update -y'



problem with workaround:
updates for texlive cannot be installed!



expected results:
texlive updates should be installable without file conflicts




Could you fix this problem, please?
In case I should test some settings, just point me in the direction please.
