I didn't put the "obsoletes" lines in there; they were in the spec file when I
got it from the source RPM.
As for tetex, this is an old metapackage for TeX, like 10 years old, from
before texlive. It's appropriate to force every version of tetex off the
machine. Texlive is the current metapackage and will drag in all the wanted
components such as LaTeX and AMSTeX.
To my mind, it's semi-appropriate for texlive-filesystem to have an obsolete
relation with other packages such that the 2011, 2010... major version is not
allowed to co-exist with texlive-filesystem-2012. Of course this requires the
user to upgrade everything at once, which is inappropriate in some contexts but
maybe OK in this one.
I suspect the problem is that the solver is messing up the version comparison,
so it's false that 2012 >= 2012. I'll bet that if you focus on the second test
case you will find a smoking gun more quickly because there are fewer packages.
