[Fedora TeX Live] Version mismatch in kpathsea packages

[Matthew Saltzman]

This issue also prevents rebuilding of evince, needed because of
evince-dvi dependency:

        $ sudo yum install evince-dvi
        Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
        Resolving Dependencies
        --> Running transaction check
        ---> Package evince-dvi.x86_64 0:3.4.0-2.fc17 will be installed
        --> Processing Dependency: libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit) for
        package: evince-dvi-3.4.0-2.fc17.x86_64
        Package kpathsea-2007-70.fc17.x86_64 is obsoleted by
        1:texlive-kpathsea-svn26056-1.noarch which is already installed
        --> Finished Dependency Resolution
        Error: Package: evince-dvi-3.4.0-2.fc17.x86_64 (fedora)
                   Requires: libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit)
                   Available: kpathsea-2007-70.fc17.x86_64 (fedora)
                       libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit)
         You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
