Well, I also do not encounter a problem with yum (2.x). And I have the
same repos in yum.conf. I wonder what the difference is (probably the
current installed set of rpms, do you have any tetex installed?
E.g. what does rpm -qa tetex* return?).

I am packaging tetex 2.0 since its early beta stages. tetex-afm and
tetex-latex are virtual packages provided with version 2.0.2 by
tetex-texmf. Why did yum pick up the references to the older 'proper'
packages?
(What does 'identical dependency loop exceeded' mean?)
