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
