Description of problem: The zsh package has a stale buildreq on tetex. While we could adjust the texlive build to have a particular package 'provide' tetex, I suspect the zsh spec file can be adjusted to point to what it actually requires to build. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest releng nightly How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. look for source RPMs that have missing buildreqs

Kept waiting for this to hit Fedora, then I could fix it once and copy the result ... but as of today texlive-scheme-tetex in rawhide still provides tetex. Is this being excluded from RHEL for some reason? If I change the requires to texlive-scheme-basic or texlive-tetex instead and it builds, is it likely that's bugfree? Why then does textlive-scheme-tetext provide tetex in Fedora and not something else?

It's the reason why it's dropped in rhel. the texlive in rhel7 is not the same what we have in fedora. Please don't expect it should be the same! > If I change the requires to texlive-scheme-basic or texlive-tetex instead > and it builds, is it likely that's bugfree?

I don't see reason why it should provides more

Right, that's what I figured ... it just sucks that I can't build anymore now :) > > If I change the requires to texlive-scheme-basic or texlive-tetex instead > > and it builds, is it likely that's bugfree?

What I meant is "If I change the BR from tetex to texlive-scheme-basic, and zsh builds ... is the result likely to be bug free, or is someone going to have to do a huge amount of QA to make sure something isn't broken"? > 2. textlive-scheme-tetex is meta package.

Given what I've seen with the packages on RHEL/Fedora, on this BZ, and the assumptions Bill made "While we could adjust the texlive build to have a particular package 'provide' tetex" == "tetex got split, and you need to find the bits you require now" ... I'm starting to think that this is NaB, and if someone wants zsh to build they'll need to include more of tetex into at least the RHEL-7 build repos. (maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not really sure how to go about finding which subset of tetex I need to build against and how to see if I got the same result at the end).

Just remove the requirement. Build only seem to need texi2html which once was part of tetex package. Check #124182. There is already BR: texi2html which is enough.
This appears to be true, removed the requirement in rawhide and pushed to git. But can't build until I get the flag.
To clarify, I pushed the change to RHEL-7/zsh git ... so any rebuilds from git should get a working -6.
