Hi Ken,
it seems that both
texlive-collection-latex
texlive-collection-latexextra
depend on
texlive-collection-latexrecommended
that seems to me contra intuitive. can you please check ?
Hi Marco,
Do you have an example of a LaTeX file that uses packages only in
texlive-collection-latex but fails to compile if
texlive-collection-latexrecommended is not installed? Without this,
it's very hard for me to check if the occurrences of "pdftexcmds.sty"
that you found really indicate dependencies. My technical knowledge
of LaTeX is not good enough to determine this just from looking at the
.sty files. See below for further comments on a few of the occurrences.
the last gl2ps package had such issue
https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/7204747329/job/19626758626
adding the texlive-collection-latexrecommended
as dependency, solved that issue

Thanks. The problem is that line 111 of
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty contains
\RequirePackage{pdftexcmds}. Since hyperref is in the latex collection,
pdftexcmds should also be in that collection. I'll report this upstream.
But there's no bug in the latexextra package. The upstream latexextra
collection does indeed depend on the latexrecommended collection, and
this is reflected in the Cygwin packaging. So this dependency is by
design (and it makes intuitive sense to me).
Thanks for the report.
Ken
