Your idea looks interesting but doesn't work. I've just installed (as
yum localinstall) the rpm generated by the attached rpm and when I try
to install a2ps I get:

 Is this ok [y/N]: n

That is not what I desire.

The fake rpm is correctly installed:

  >yum list installed|grep texlive
  texlive2010-fake.noarch            1.0-1.fc13 @/texlive2010-fake-1.0-1.fc13.noarch

Any other suggestion?
