Description Oliver Freyermuth 2020-04-29 01:26:54 UTC
Description of problem:
This example test.tex file:
--------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-plot}

\begin{document}
Hello world.
\end{document}
--------------
should be compiled fine after texlive (which pulls in texlive-pst-plot) is installed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive-pst-plot-20180414-14.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
Always. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "yum install texlive"
2. Run "pdflatex test.tex" (see file contents above). 

Actual results:
"! LaTeX Error: File `iftex.sty' not found."
Installing texlive-iftex and retrying yields:
"! I can't find file `pst-tools.tex'."
Running:
# yum whatprovides '*/pst-tools.tex'
reveals nothing. 

Expected results:
All dependencies are installed and it compiles. 

Additional info:
One might argue these are two bugs:
- texlive-iftex should be a dependency of texlive-pst-plot. 
- texlive-pst-tools is not packaged, and should also be a dependency of texlive-pst-plot.

It seems the pst-tools is needed. I will have a look at this and thanks for your report.
