Package: texlive-full
Version: 2026.20260328-4
Severity: serious

At least when texlive-full is installed, it is still not possible to
upgrade texlive with "apt upgrade", while "apt install texlive dvidvi-"
works fine.

I suppose that the reason is that texlive-full 2026.20260328-4 still
has dvidvi in its "Depends:", which is pointless in any case since
dvidvi is now provided by texlive-binaries 2026.20260303.78225+ds-3
and texlive-full depends on texlive-binaries (>= 2026.20260303).
