Description of problem: When trying to install evince-dvi (and latexmk, separately) the shows dependency on texlive distribution which was not there in f18. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-dvi x86_64 3.8.2-1.fc19 How reproducible: try to install evince-dvi via yum Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
If you want to file bugs against two products, you need to file two separate bugs. I am not the evince-dvi maintainer, so I cannot do anything to fix the evince-dvi problem. I am the latexmk maintainer, but I don't understand the problem. Since latexmk invokes LaTeX, it needs a dependency on "tex(latex)", which is exactly what it has. What, exactly, is the problem you are experiencing? You left out the "actual results" and "expected results" part of your report, which is precisely the part I need to understand the problem.
Jerry, Thanks for your concern on this vaguely written bug. The problem is, latexmk depends on texlive at /usr/share/. Given that, as the regular criteria, it searches /usr/share to check if texlive already exists. Given that, the fedora's texlive distro is always older then that is available in ctan, I installed it from ctan; which is installed in /usr/local. I made a softlink of /usr/local/texlive to /usr/share. but then, possibly, the expected directory structure of /usr/share/texlive is different from what is given by ctan, even when I have a ctan exist, installing latexmk (and evince-dvi, if mkasik is also reading this), still install all the texlive. I had same situation in f18, and latexmk did not make any objection. The problem is more dominant for evince-dvi then latexmk as latexmk is there in ctan itself. Probably I should not have include latexmk as the problematic.
(In reply to RudraB from comment #3) > The problem is, latexmk depends on texlive at /usr/share/. That is not true; latexmk depends on "tex(latex)". That dependency can be satisfied by any package that has "Provides: tex(latex)" in its spec file. Currently, only texlive-latex has that Provides, but that doesn't mean that some other package couldn't Provide it also. > Given that, the fedora's texlive distro is always older then that is > available in ctan, I installed it from ctan; which is installed in > /usr/local. That is the point where you stop getting support from Fedora. Sorry. If you want to compile and install competing versions of software provided by Fedora, you can certainly do that, but you're on your own if you run into trouble. Good luck.
