Description of problem: The command "dvipdfmx" does not work since it is a symbolic link to "xdvipdfmx" which does not exist in my file system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive-dvipdfmx-20180414-28.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: Simply install the texlive-dvipdfmx package Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf install texlive-dvipdfmx 2. cd/usr/bin 3. ls dvipdfmx Actual results: The third step produces the following output: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Nov 26 19:22 dvipdfmx -> xdvipdfmx where the symbolic link is broken. As a consequence, the "dvipdfmx" command as well as the "dvipdfm", "ebb", "extracbb" commands) do not work. Expected results: "xdvipdfmx" must exist in the file system Additional info: I have tried to remove the above broken links and to reinstall the package: 1. cd /usr/bin 2. sudo rm dvipdfm dvipdfmx ebb extractbb 3. sudo dnf reinstall texlive-dvipdfmx without any success: the third step recreates the above broken links.
To solve this issue, you need to install: texlive-xetex Thanks to Jon Ingason (see discussion: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/WG27LAKHCBQC7OOZK4SYS2CAPFQF2HFN/ I am leaving this bug open since, in my opinion, package texlive-dvipdfmx should have as dependency the package texlive-xetex.
