By default, TeX Live does not provide "biber" executable, only

I confirm that installing "texlive" without "texlive-biber" does
not put "biber" on $PATH, which is intentional, as you write.
This is the failure (of building texlive-font-maps) during
system
reconfiguration with "texlive" + "texlive-biber" but without
"texlive-bin":

This should now be fixed. I'll let you close the bug if you can
confirm
this.
It is fixed now (by 3481a5cb37cacbb54f74a2b1fa52ffc5c972b09f, I
guess), thank you!
Having "texlive" + "texlive-biber" in my system configuration lets
me reconfigure my system and leaves me with "biber" on my $PATH
again, without having "texlive-bin" installed.
Best Regards,
Julian Flake
