That is *STRANGE*, *really* strange:
We have
texlive-extra-utils depends on texlive-common (>= 2007)
and
texlive-common conflicts with tetex-bin (<< 2007)
How did it come that you had tetex-bin *installed* and at the same time
texlive-common which is necessary for texlive-extra-utils?
Or do I miss something here?
Best wishes
