TeX update failure with texlive-release.repo

[Timothy Murphy]

I'm using the texlive-release repo under Fedora-17
in order to get a recent version of TeXLive.
(I want to run luatex, and this seems the easiest way.)

I've been getting the following dependency error
for the last few days:
-----------------------------------
Error: Package: R-core-2.15.0-1.fc17.i686 (@fedora)
           Requires: texlive-latex
           Removing: 1:texlive-latex-svn23639-1.noarch (@texlive)

           Obsoleted By: 1:tex-kpathsea-svn26691-1.noarch (texlive)
               Not found
-----------------------------------

I wonder if anyone else has been getting this,
and if so whether there is any way round?

I must admit I can't make much sense of this yum error message.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem I asked about.
I received the response.
------------------------
I think the solution is to remove texlive-preview and install
tex-preview from the Fedora 17 repo.  The texlive repo no longer lists
texlive-preview or tex-preview as a package.

Hi,

I'm getting the same error on FC17. I am using R-core-2.15.1, which I
updated by disabling the texlive-repo. When I now try to run yum update I
don't get any errors from R, nor from texlive-latex or texlive-dvips. But I
do still get this one:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: 1:texlive-preview-11.86.svn17118-1.noarch (@texlive)
           Requires: texlive-kpathsea
           Removing: 1:texlive-kpathsea-svn26691-1.noarch (@texlive)
               texlive-kpathsea = 1:svn26691-1
           Obsoleted By: 1:tex-kpathsea-svn26691-1.noarch (texlive)
               Not found

Does anyone else still have this problem, or know of a way to fix it?

Kind regards,
Ludger van Dijk

This is a dependency error in the R package.  There's a new R package in
updates-testing that fixes it.
