I don't know if this helps, but I am running Manjaro, using the repository
packages and have no problem with export. The installed texlive packages
are:

texlive-bin
texlive-core
texlive-humanities
texlive-latexextra

I have no problems with either org export or any pandoc conversions.

Cheers,
Alan
