installing latex in F19

I hoped that installing texlive-latex texlive-latex-bin-bin-svn14050.0 would be enough for having a working latex. But running latex gives This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013) restricted \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395
