> Manually installing Inkscape does not make the conversion work, because the installed version of Inkscape does not know the CLI parameter "--without-gui" that jupyter-nbconvert tries to use.

This will be a problem. Could you please copy paste the errors as you get them?

Here is the full output:

There is a Fedora 32 scratchbuild at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-nbconvert/pull-request/8 -> https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=44067966 -> https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/work/tasks/7969/44067969/python3-nbconvert-5.6.0-4.fc32.noarch.rpm

Could you please verify it fixes the problem? Alternatively, please attach the mynotebook.ipynb file here and I can test it myself.

Thank you very much for fixing this so fast. Conversion works for me with the rpm you provided.

However, jupyter-nbconvert threw further errors that I could fix by installing the following packages:

texlive-ulem
texlive-titling
texlive-adjustbox
texlive-tcolorbox
pandoc

While the errors that appear when Inkscape or Pandoc are not installed are relatively straightforward to understand (it basically says "Pandoc not installed"),
if I did not know LaTeX I would certainly not have been able to fix the tex-related errors.
I already had a pretty long list of texlive packages installed, so I assume that even more of them are required for jupyter-nbconvert to work.

We might want to add recommends for those, but I don't want nbconvert to depend on tex.
