I had the same issue, with a pretty minimal manifest:
(use-modules (gnu packages)) (use-package-modules tex) (packages->manifest (list texlive texlive-amsmath texlive-txfonts))Based on the suggestion that the missing files are propagated by texlive-bin, I added that to the manifest and found that the build succeeded. So is the issue that texlive is not propagating texlive-scripts correctly?
