Hmmm ... other way around
No ;-)
the noarch texlive-latex-bin requires the binary texlive-latex-bin-bin
Wait - the latex(1) and pdflatex(1) manpages and /var/adm/update-scripts/texlive-latex-bin-2012.67.svn23398-8.1-zypper requires the symlinks of the binary? That looks very strange (and wrong). (I didn't check the dependencies for the other packages you mentioned.)
IMHO this way it is perfect.
Let me explain how I found this bug: The mediawiki math extension on my server needs /usr/bin/latex. Therefore I used rpm -qf (on my laptop) to find out that it is packaged in texlive-latex-bin-bin. I then zypper in'stalled this package on the server - and the only thing I got was a set of broken symlinks. (With all dependencies solved.) I'm sorry to disagree, but - no, it is NOT perfect. If you still disagree, start with a fresh system (without any *tex* packages) and try to get a working /usr/bin/latex. The way I described in the paragraph above is a good starting point - it will give you /usr/bin/latex ;-) (but there's a reason I didn't say "a working /usr/bin/latex *eg*)
I'll not gonna fix that as otherwise I'll see circular dependencies.
We are "only" talking about Requires, not BuildRequires (yes, I know that BR'd package can require other packages) - and besides that, you are only moving the dependency the other way round. That shouldn't result in circular dependencies. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
