Interesting read. That thread seems to indicate that the problem has
been fixed upstream and it was touch and go if the update would make it
to the first release of F9. Seems this problem will go away eventually.

In the meantime I took the suggestion:

and did something like:
  sudo  mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/amscls/
  cd /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/amscls/
  sudo wget http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsrefs/pcatcode.sty
  sudo texhash

and now pcatcode.sty is found.

Several people noted that kdvi has been replaced by okular in
kedgraphics. That's fine, we can live with that. One of my users
complained that okular does not implement "inverse search". A fix for
that seems to be on the way:

locate supp-pdf

finds:

/usr/share/texmf/doc/pdftex/manual/samplepdf/supp-pdf.tex

as part of the texlive-texmf-doc-2007-17.fc9 package. This path is not
searched in normal latex processing.

I'm still playing with this problem.
 
Thanks for your help everyone.
