I seem to remember that I've had a look at the yacas package before,
but ran into several problems, not limited to missing (or potentially
missing) dependencies and non-working scripts and features.

Clamav is available already. Kile suffers from a missing dependency
in a Fedora Core 2 package, which also affects other packages:

A temporary work-around would be possible, if the Core package doesn't get
fixed soon.
