The error means that yum tried up to three times in a row computing what
can resolve those dependencies w/o any success so instead of looping
forever it gave up.
Does your new tetex-texmf obsolete tetex-afm and tetex-latex?
it's probably not picking up anything - but if tetex-texmf doesn't
obsolete away the other two packages then yum is still trying to resolve
deps for tetex-afm and tetex-latex which are still there.
