That texlive was obviously installed manually as no sane, orthodox package manager touches /usr/local. The two installations are now in conflict and 'which' will only reports what's in /usr/local, as that path gets priority. If the package manager cannot see it, but the user is sure it was used to install one of them, then a custom repository was added and later removed. Just see if a '/usr/bin/latex' exists. If it does not, then the package manager did not install any texlive to begin with. $ file /usr/bin/latex /usr/bin/latex: symbolic link to `pdftex' -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
