[Fedora TeX Live] Problems updating to new -2011 packages

When I updated my Fedora packages today, I was greeted by many errors 
like these:

Error: Package: texlive-elsevier-2010-14.2.20.svn15878.fc14.noarch 
(@texlive)
            Requires: texlive-kpathsea-bin = 2010
            Removing: 
texlive-kpathsea-bin-2010-14.20110113.svn18765.fc14.x86_64 (@texlive)
                texlive-kpathsea-bin = 2010-14.20110113.svn18765.fc14
            Updated By: 
texlive-kpathsea-bin-2011-0.1.20110120.svn18765.fc14.x86_64 (texlive)
                texlive-kpathsea-bin = 2011-0.1.20110120.svn18765.fc14

It appears like packages like texlive-elsevier only have 2010 versions, 
and so they require 2010 packages that are trying to be updated. Until 
these other 2010 packages get updated to 2011, they block updates (and 
my organization requires all packages be updated within seven days).

Is there an easy fix? Should I remove all of the packages that only have 
2010 versions? Is there an easy way to do that with yum? (I use Arch 
Linux at home, and so I'm still picking up on Fedora's little nuances)

Thanks --
Ted
