Texlive seems to be broken

Okay; it looks like we have more problems:

Error: Transaction test error:

So this is two more packages (texlive-texlive-scripts-extra and texlive-psutils) conflicting with five packages (texlive-texconfig, texlive-tetex-3.0-30, texlive-pdftools-0.84, texlive-pstools-1.68, and psutils-p17-30).

I’m guessing the distro psutils package would be more up to date than the Texlive one, but I’m not sure. Which one should I keep and which one should I get rid of?

And since the issue I’m having is with creating PDFs, it’s possible some other combination of these conflicted packages might work. Any advice anybody has on which packages to install would be greatly appreciated!
