Quite strange: up to yesterday, asking "yum update" on my f8 system gave
almost 1GB updates.... (I don't remember how many).

Today, the same command wants to install tetex-xdvi 3.0-41.fc8 which is
supposed to replace xdvik.x86_64 22.84.13-17.fc9 (?!!) I don't
understand why for I replaced tetex by texlive as soon as this was
possible under f8.

The only package to update today is: fedora-release


Is there still some mess in the repositories?
