Description of problem: I tried to run the latex2png command, but it fail with this error: /usr/bin/latex2png: line 151: xelatex : command not found latex2png: error: pdflatex, xelatex and latex all failed to translate somefile.tex Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.8 How reproducible: Ran "latex2png somefile.tex" Additional info: I can't find xelatex in the fedora repository... I missed somethig ?
Strangely, the package does not specify any TeX related dependencies despite the several texlive build requirements such as tex(latex). # repoquery --whatprovides /usr/bin/xelatex texlive-xetex-bin-4:svn30845.0-1.1.20140525_r34255.fc21.x86_64 # repoquery --whatprovides /usr/bin/latex texlive-latex-bin-bin-4:svn14050.0-1.1.20140525_r34255.fc21.noarch

This package should depend on /usr/bin/latex ONLY, even if it doesn't work still, as users should install xelatex by themselves or this package will pull more deps onto user's computer by default and I don't want users to download lots of packages, the best is to await dnf/yum supporting Recommends/Suggests feature soon. Since different users have different tex packages installed, if /usr/bin/latex failed to detect a sty file(often missing on the computer), it will terminate the process and latex2png will fail as well, then you will likely see the info like "/usr/bin/latex2png: line 151: xelatex : command not found" as latex2png will switch to xelatex as an alternative solution(as it couldn't find latex), but maybe users haven't installed xelatex as well, finally png won't be generated. I'm gonna rewrite this script if I have time and ask upstream to accept it into upstream sources, to be more friendly to Fedora users. But I'd like to figure out how tex is pacakged as tex always breaks things... Hence I added 4 deps to this package: Requires: texlive-collection-basic Requires: texlive-collection-latex Requires: texlive-collection-latexextra Requires: texlive-collection-latexrecommended Please test the update to see if it works. I'm having problem with latex2html here.
