Strange.

Anyways:
The texlive packages (...-asymptote, ...-pstools) should obsolete the
older ones (asymptote, ps2...), yes.

But for the workaround, it's better to

rpm -e --nodeps asymptote

etc. so that the other packages don't go (assuming they don't require
that specific package)

and then to

yum install texlive-asymptote

etc., not the old ones. I have not checked the form of the dependencies
though (package or feature).
