Description of problem: dnf install /usr/bin/pdfjam installs some pdfjam packages but pdflatex and other dependencies are still missing so pdfjam is not working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive-pdfjam-bin-svn17868.0-1.1.20140525_r34255.fc21.noarch How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. install minimal F21 system 2. $ dnf install /usr/bin/pdfjam 3. $ pdfjam Actual results: $ pdfjam ---- pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08. pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults... (none found) pdfjam: No arguments supplied; continuing anyway. (See 'pdfjam --help' for information on usage.) pdfjam: No PDF/JPG/PNG source specified: input is from stdin. pdfjam ERROR: can't find pdflatex! Expected results: Command 'dnf install /usr/bin/pdfjam' should pull in necessary dependencies. Additional info: Running 'dnf install /usr/bin/pdflatex' moved me one step further: $ pdfjam ---- pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08. pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults... (none found) pdfjam: No arguments supplied; continuing anyway. (See 'pdfjam --help' for information on usage.) pdfjam: No PDF/JPG/PNG source specified: input is from stdin. pdfjam ERROR: LaTeX package pdfpages.sty is not installed The next step: $ dnf install /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfpages/pdfpages.sty ... moved me even further but it still did not work: $ pdfjam 001-secure-design-intro.pdf kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt /bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. Next step was: $ dnf install /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr After that I got an error: ! LaTeX Error: File `ifluatex.sty' not found. Finally, the command: $ dnf install texlive-ifluatex ... resulted in: $ pdfjam --no-tidy 001-secure-design-intro.pdf ---- pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08. pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults... (none found) pdfjam: Effective call for this run of pdfjam: /bin/pdfjam -- 001-secure-design-intro.pdf - pdfjam: Calling pdflatex... pdfjam: FAILED. The call to 'pdflatex' resulted in an error. If '--no-tidy' was used, you can examine the log file at /var/tmp/pdfjam-hIkPVJ/a.log to try to diagnose the problem. pdfjam ERROR: Output file not written ... which as a side-effect produced file /var/tmp/pdfjam-bBuACp/a.pdf with desired output. I don't know why pdfjam returns an error in this case, I will open separate bug about it.

This bug is still present as of fedora 23 and should be reopened.

Reopening, will work on a fix
This bug affects texlive-pdfjam too, the successor to pdfjam, which should probably depend on texlive-collection-latex. Assigning to component owner.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
This bug is still there in Fedora 26. In order to use pdfnup I had to install *manually* "texlive-pdfjam-bin", then "texlive-latex-bin-bin" and finally "texlive-collection-latex"
Still a problem
Yep, still a problem. Fix suggested by Michel and Yannick fixes it. LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: Fedora Description: Fedora release 27 (Twenty Seven) Release: 27 Codename: TwentySeven
seems to be broken differently on Rawhide, there it is missing a dep on tex(pdfpages.sty) but it depends on texlive-collection-latex now.
