Steps to Reproduce:
koji build --scratch f44 python-matplotlib-3.10.8-2.fc44.src.rpm

Additional info:
This package is tracked by Koschei. See:
https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/python-matplotlib

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:
In root.log:

FYI: The fix for the requires is simple, but the build still fails because of 3 test failures in test_norm_callback, test_pcolornearestunits[png], test_rcupdate.
The latter two may be due to changed ghostscript or image libraries (too strict image diff), but the first one is mysterious.

I know what is happening here, reported in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/31429 with proposed solutions. I've built the patched package in the COPR so we should be able to continue the rebuilds.

--- Additional comment from Elliott Sales de Andrade on 2026-03-31 19:27:12 EDT ---

The missing Requires would be fixed by rebuilding the texlive packages with the new automated Provides generator. The missing ones for this package are in the `texlive-cm` package, which is a subpackage of `texlive-collection-basic` now in Rawhide/F44. cc @spotrh 

The other issues should be handled upstream.

Working on the texlive collection package fixes. Enough should be fixed in rawhide to get the provides part of this working again.
