I've given up on all OS distribution-based TexLive drops.  I install
texlive manually from their installer and then run tlmgr under
cron control nightly to keep it up-to-date.  I do this on
FreeBSD (my primary dev and server platform) as well as all
linux instances in my environment.  It makes things a lot simpler.
