I looked at my Texlive installation and texlive-collection-latex is installed. However, looking further I notice that the rpm is empty with no payload.
Can some one please shed some light for this issue.
It is a pattern/meta package that just pulls in others. E.g. on 15.2 I see rpm -q --requires texlive-collection-latex texlive-ae >= 2017 texlive-amscls >= 2017 texlive-amsmath >= 2017 texlive-babel >= 2017 texlive-babel-english >= 2017 texlive-babelbib >= 2017 texlive-carlisle >= 2017 texlive-collection-basic >= 2017 texlive-colortbl >= 2017 texlive-fancyhdr >= 2017 texlive-fix2col >= 2017 texlive-geometry >= 2017 texlive-graphics >= 2017 texlive-graphics-cfg >= 2017 texlive-hyperref >= 2017 texlive-latex >= 2017 texlive-latex-bin >= 2017 texlive-latex-fonts >= 2017 texlive-latexconfig >= 2017 texlive-ltxmisc >= 2017 texlive-mfnfss >= 2017 texlive-mptopdf >= 2017 texlive-natbib >= 2017 texlive-oberdiek >= 2017 texlive-pslatex >= 2017 texlive-psnfss >= 2017 texlive-pspicture >= 2017 texlive-tools >= 2017 texlive-url >= 2017 many patterns also pull in packages as recommends, which you might miss if you normally don't install recommended packages (e.g. when starting with a JeOS image)
