Hi there, I’m doing my yearly reinstall of texlive from scratch, for TL2025 (I know TL2026 is around the corner). And like two years ago, I’m finding a bunch of missing dependencies (as per looking at the \RequirePackage for these and comparing to their tlpsrc): ebgaramond depends on xkeyval dictsym depends on psnfss (for pifont) babel-french depends on carlisle (for scalefnt) impnattypo depends on xcolor,luatexbase,luacode mathtools depends on tools (for calc) tabularray depends on ninecolors unicode-math depends on amsmath,lualatex-math (only for lua of course, but I think the UX is better if we install it anyway) gincltex (dependency of standalone) depends on svn-prov (actually removed upstream 14 years ago in https://github.com/MartinScharrer/gincltex/commit/3c6b8fea8eea1db477aafcf75f7e05fe30d33c32, but no release since) tikzscale depends on xstring graphics-def seems to depend on epstopdf-pkg (but might be very setup-depending) There might be some others, I’ve only installed what is required for my PhD thesis so far. BTW, I’ve noticed that standalone for instance differentiates hard and soft dependencies (https://svn.tug.org:8369/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc/standalone.tlpsrc?revision=77682&view=markup). When we discussed this topic two years ago, Karl told me that there is no concept of hard or optional deps in texlive. I guess the fact “soft” ones are commented out is linked to that, but asking anyways… If there is a better way to submit changes for these, please let me know. Regards, Archange
