Description

I don't know about all the packages, but LaTeX is needed if you create an artist with `usetex=True` and probably also if you try to save as a pgf/TikZ file. If the user explicitly needs to say "usetex=True" or "pgf/TikZ", I'd cont that as integration with LaTex rather than a part of matplotlib's core functionality. I think it would be fine to require installing LaTeX separately. If LaTeX is not installed, do these use cases give a reasonable error message? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'. This is still a thing to consider. When I install matplotlib into a Python virtual environment and I don't ahve tex and I explicitly say usetex=True:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'latex'
Not sure if this is decent, but:
* I've explicitly said use tex and the error is latex not found
* It's how pip installed matplotlib behaves
Conclusion:
Switch to recommends?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. +1 to switching to Recommends. On the mailing list I suggested the following:
> > Recommends: dvipng
> > Requires: (dvipng if texlive-base)
