Here are some curious things happening in tetex spec: Buildrequires list many implicit dependencies: gcc autoconf automake
Requires list files instead of packages: /usr/bin/env -> coreutils /sbin/install-info -> info-install /usr/bin/texhash -> tetex Those requires also deserve further comments: coreutils is implicit info install is both a requires and a pre-req tetex is self-provided all %post script test presence of texhash before using it, whereas it is installed by the main package, so it should always be there. all %post scripts explicitely exit with 0 status, instead of using command exit status -- Guillaume Rousse If Gutenberg had only had a computer and printer, he may never have gotten the Bible printed. -- Murphy's Law of Printers
