I dont't really understand, you mean years ago when robby added texlive 
to SBo?

If you have /usr/share/texmf/ in your system, it looks like tetex is 
installed. You mentioned your beamer class is from 2004, that would also 
match.

Yes, like Didier said, remove all (te)tex(live) packages, and leftovers 
/usr/share/texmf-{config,var,local}, and also ~/.tex* and ~/texmf if 
present.
Logout/Login as you still might have tetex env variables from 
/etc/profile.d.
Install texlive from SBo, it might be sufficient to not install 
texlive-extra/fonts.
btw. texhash is a link to mktexlsr, but that's already covered by the 
package's doinst.sh, that should be all.
