Can't it be an optional dependency instead?
Comment by Rémy Oudompheng (remyoudompheng) - Wednesday, 20 July 2011, 06:09 GMT
ruby is already listed as an optional dependency of texlive-core "for old ConTeXT MkII and epspdf".
You cannot use pstopdf without texlive-core.
Comment by Sebastian Jensen (gonX) - Wednesday, 20 July 2011, 10:11 GMT
Perhaps texlive-bin should have texlive-core in optdeps then?
Comment by Rémy Oudompheng (remyoudompheng) - Wednesday, 20 July 2011, 19:08 GMT
The main TeXLive package is texlive-core, which depends on texlive-bin already. There is no sense in using texlive-bin without texlive-core except for very particular reasons.
