This is a tracking bug for Change: ACPICA Tools Update
For more details, see: http://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/AcpicaTools

For developers working with the ACPI subsystem, there are tools available from
the reference implementation at http://www.acpica.org.  These tools have been
restructured over time and the current Fedora packages as a result contain
either outdated versions or do not make available a complete set of tools.  We
propose an acpica-tools package that replaces both the existing iasl package
and the the existing pmtools package in order to make all current tools
available, and make it more straightforward in the future to keep them
up-to-date.

Package has been uploaded into git and builds done for all architectures for
f20.

acpica-tools obsoletes pmtools, but it appears it should also obsolete iasl:

Transaction check error:
  file /usr/bin/iasl from install of acpica-tools-20130823-2.fc19.x86_64
conflicts with file from package iasl-20120913-7.fc19.x86_64
  file /usr/share/man/man1/iasl.1.gz from install of
acpica-tools-20130823-2.fc19.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
iasl-20120913-7.fc19.x86_64

Erasing iasl and installing acpica-tools works.
