Hi, we've got a bug report against the Debian texlive packages:

(In fact, it does not require any collection, not even latexbase, but that might be because some are generic macros.) >> How should we deal with this type of bugs?

You generally do not try to get all macro packages' interdependencies right, because that would be too much work, if at all possible without munging everything into one big collection? On the Debian side, I think we can add a Recommends or Suggests, a "soft Requires". Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
