Bonjour,
I wanted to upgrade a machine today and run dnf upgrade...
Amongst the packages, I could see a full install of texlive which is
not installed....
So, I asked:
rpm -q --whatrequires texlive
answer: aucun paquet ne requiert texlive (no package requires
texlive)....
I thought that, maybe, it was not a full install of texlive and
asked, randomly choosing a package that this upgrade wanted to
install:
rpm -q --whatrequires texlive-polyglossia
answer: aucun paquet ne requiert texlive (no package requires
texlive)....
What's wrong?
I don't know for sure, but my guess would be that something in the
update has a new dependency on a texlive component, and that is pulling
in the rest of texlive. That is, nothing currently on your machine
requires texlive, but something in the updates does. You could try
excluding packages from the update to see which one it is if there
aren't too many. Maybe someone else here on the list will know.
