I want to install texlive on my fedora 16 laptop
with the following procedure:
# yum remove tex-* texlive-*
# cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive.repo <<EOF
[texlive]
name=texlive
baseurl=http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2012/packages.f17/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
# yum update;
# yum install texlive
after yum update, I notice that my laptop is fedora 16, while I used 2012/packages.fc17/
so I modify /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive.repo to use 2011/packages.fc16
and do yum update again
however, there are many errors
[root@kitty esolve]# yum update

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
and when I do yum install texlive, it simply tries to install the f17 version, which failed.
what Can I do to install f16 version? how can I undo yum update with 2012/packages.f17/
I tried yum history, and for today's history, I only have
