latex2man @1.23: imprecise dependency on texlive

[lynxluna (Didiet)]

Installing latex2man without installing texlive-latex-extra produces error ! LaTeX Error: File `url.sty' not found.. Below is the excerpt of the main.log file (I attach main.log)

:info:destroot (/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/latexconfig/hyperref.cfg)
:info:destroot
:info:destroot ! LaTeX Error: File `url.sty' not found.

with texlive-latex-extra no error produced.

This is the full log of the installation.

I add texlive-latex-extra as port dependencies and it works fine. But I don't know if it's the right way of doing deps

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

url.sty is provided by texlive-latex-recommended.

% find /opt/local -name url.sty -exec port provides {} + 
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/url/url.sty is provided by: texlive-latex-recommended

I assume you have texlive +minimal or texlive +basic installed. The default is texlive +medium, which installs texlive-latex-recommended, which is probably why no one’s noticed this before.

For now, I’ll just add the dependency on texlive-latex-recommended. More generally, I don’t like the ham-handed dependency on texlive and will try to shave it down soon.

Now that I look at it, latex2man accommodates non-MacPorts TeX installations with a bin:tex:texlive dependency. I’m not sure how to add an analogous url.sty dependency. I’ll have to come back to this later.
