Description Petr Menšík 2020-09-11 10:02:16 UTC

Description of problem:
I was searching for problems of bug 1875899, where it fails for some mysterious reason installing on COPR. I found rpm reports cyclic dependencies of texlive-kpathsea. I am not sure this is responsible, but it seems one of differences between f32 (where it works) and f33 (where it does not work).

texlive-context pulls many dependencies inside. Can it be done without it?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive-context-7:20200327-15.fc34.noarch
texlive-kpathsea-7:20200327-15.fc34.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install texlive-{kpathsea,xetex}
2. rpm -q --requires texlive-kpathsea | grep texlive-context
3. rpm -q --requires texlive-context | grep texlive-kpathsea

Actual results:
texlive-context
texlive-kpathsea

Expected results:
Command 2. would not return anything, making it dependency tree, not loop.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-09-21 14:45:02 UTC

texlive is such a lovely package. Okay. I'm going to try to break the loop by putting the mtxrun --generate call in a texlive-context %transfiletriggerin (and removing it from the texlive-kpathsea %transfiletriggerin). This allows me to remove the Requires(post): texlive-context from texlive-kpathsea.

This means that texlive-context still depends on texlive-kpathsea, but texlive-kpathsea will no longer depend on texlive-context. Here's hoping this doesn't break anything, it feels like every time I fix a bug, I cause 10 more. :/
