I'm not seeing the "install without problems" behavior, unfortunately.
The messages above come from after installing texlive-dvipng*.  After
latest updates:

         You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
         You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                                package-cleanup --dupes
                                rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
