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:
-----------------------------------

-----------------------------------

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.
