The package cannot be installed without installing TeX Live from the Fedora repositories at the same time. However, due to compatibility issues in the past, I prefer to use the latest TeX Live distribution from TUG. TeX Studio does not need to have any LaTeX distribution installed in order to start. In fact, the spec files from the TeX Studio Git repository (https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/blob/master/utilities/texstudio.spec) and the openSUSE packages from texstudio maintainer Jan Sundermeyer (https://build.opensuse.org/projects/home:jsundermeyer/packages/texstudio-4.8.2/files/texstudio.spec) do not specify tex as a hard requirement. I'm not aware of the full packaging guidelines regarding this change, however the wiki page I found (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/WeakDependencies) indicates that such a change could be made ("But it is OK to create packages that have very limited functionality without adding some of its weak requirements."). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # dnf install -x texlive-tex texstudio Actual Results: Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. Failed to resolve the transaction: Problem: conflicting requests - package texstudio-4.8.2-1.fc41.x86_64 from fedora requires tex(latex), but none of the providers can be installed - package texstudio-4.8.2-1.fc41.x86_64 from updates-testing requires tex(latex), but none of the providers can be installed - package texlive-collection-latexrecommended-11:svn65512-73.fc41.noarch from fedora requires texlive-collection-latex, but none of the providers can be installed - package texlive-collection-latex-11:svn63515-73.fc41.noarch from fedora requires texlive-collection-basic, but none of the providers can be installed - package texlive-collection-basic-11:svn59159-73.fc41.noarch from fedora requires texlive-tex, but none of the providers can be installed - package texlive-tex-11:svn66186-85.fc41.x86_64 from fedora is filtered out by exclude filtering You can try to add to command line: --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages Expected Results: Texstudio can install without a TeX distribution from the official repositories
Changed it now in the spec file, there's also a copr to address this "issue".
