Description
I ran:
sudo port install python25-doc
and it failed in the build phase with the following:

So it tried to run latex but couldn't find it. So I installed the texlive port which provides latex:
sudo port install texlive
I then tried to install python25-doc again:
sudo port clean --work python25-doc sudo port install python25-doc
This time, I got the following:

Looking at line 3785 of /opt3/bin/latex2html, the line number is slightly off, but I believe it is failing because the $LATEX variable is the empty string. I looked at cfgcache.pm and l2hconf.pm in /opt3/lib/latex2html and saw that $LATEX was defined as the empty string in both. I believe the reason for this is that the latex2html portfile does not include the correct dependency declaration.
I've attached a patch against the latex2html portfile that adds a depends_lib for port:texlive which provides the needed latex binary and removes the depends_run for bin:texhash:texlive because it is invalid since texhash is provided by texlive_base not texlive and because it will be provided by texlive_base since texlive depends on texlive_base.
python25-doc installs cleanly for me with these changes.
This is on Mac OS X 10.5.4.

I just tried again with a vanilla MacPorts 1.6.0 install and it worked. So maybe something has been changed in the related portfiles since I filed this problem ticket that makes it work now? Or maybe there was something wrong with my MacPorts installation that made it break? I don't know. Adding a dependency for bin:latex:texlive seems reasonable, but I can't confirm that it would solve the problem since I now can't reproduce the problem. I would be OK with closing this ticket.

The
bin:dependency was chosen to also allow this port to be used with the older teTeX.${prefix}/bin/latexis provided by texlive, so I think a dependency onbin:latex:texlivewould be appropriate.Not sure what the problem with $LATEX was, but depends_* does not affect building.
