Get the rpm package of a2ps and install it with

rpm -ivh a2ps.xxx.rpm --nodeps

And see if a2ps works.

uhm, this is a solution but I don't like it for 2 reasons:

 - in this way I lose the automatic update that yum grants me
 - a2ps is just one of the packages affected by this problem to cite a
   few: R-core, html2ps, texinfo-tex, pidgin-latex ...

So I'd prefer to find a way to fool yum instead

BTW why do you want a2ps it is quite obsolete now for it is unable to
handle utf-8 encodage.

I'm a long time user of a2ps and I've several scripts that uses it and
it is too much work to port them towards a new tool (which one?)
especially considering that they was still working with texlive non
native installed.
