I had removed and replaced everything on 4/11, but the latest updates
exhibit the same symptoms.  

        $ latex sdp.tex 
        This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11-beta (Web2C 2010/dev)
        
        kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
        I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

I guess remove and reinstall is needed again?  Shouldn't that not happen
now?

Also note that evince needs to be removed before the update and rebuilt
from the SRPM after the update to get the right kpathsea lib version for
evince-dvi.
