You can install texlive-bin-latex without texlive-latex.  Such an installation
contains broken links and should not be allowed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. { rpm -qf /usr/bin/latex; }
  2. { file /usr/bin/latex; }
  3. { file /usr/bin/../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/latex; }
  4. { rpm -qf /usr/bin/../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/pdftex; }
  5. { rpm -q --whatrequires texlive-bin; }
  6. { rpm -q --whatrequires texlive; }
  7. { rpm -q --whatrequires texlive-latex; }
Actual Results:  
  1. texlive-bin-latex-2011-1.1.2.x86_64
  2. /usr/bin/latex: symbolic link to `../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/latex'
  3. /usr/bin/../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/latex: symbolic link to `pdftex'
  4. texlive-bin-2011-1.1.2.x86_64
  5. texlive-2011-1.1.2.noarch
  6. texlive-latex-2011-1.1.2.noarch
  7. no package requires texlive-latex

Expected Results:  
  7. texlive-bin-latex-2011-1.1.2.x86_64

Actually, texlive-latex requires texlive-bin-latex, which seems to be a mistake
because the LaTeX publishing system the package carries can be used with binary
interpreters from various vendors.

Workaround: never install texlive-bin-latex as such.
