Description:

This package, specifically the `pdflatex` command, needs the texlive-core package to function properly.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install texlive-bin on a system without texlive-core
2. Run `pdflatex`
3. Notice that it doesn't work because of missing files that are provided by texlive-core
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  While technically true, it's not a big problem and can't be solved without introducing circular deps.

This would create a circular dependency. Installing texlive-bin by itself doesn't make much sense anyway, it will generally be pulled by texlive-core itself.
