[Fedora TeX Live] `sudo yum texlive-*` leads to error in transaction check

[Bengt Albert Lüers]

Installation of Texlive 2011 succeeded.

I blacklisted `texlive-*` in /etc/yum.conf:
> exclude=texlive-*

After all I turned the repositories back on.

I hope this is helpful for future reference.

Thanks for your time,
Bengt Lüers
