dnf install nodeps option

[François Patte]

Bonjour,


I would like to install texmaker, but dnf wants to install a full
texlive.... I have already installed texlive from CTAN and I don't want
to have two texlive on may machine.

How can I get rid of dependencies?

Thank you.

You can use rpm --nodeps to install it, but then dnf will probably
complain at you forever about it.

Another option is to use "rpmrebuild -ep yourpackage.rpm". (dnf install
rpmrebuild) This will give you an editor (probably vi) to edit a
recreated spec file. If you remove the problematic Depends lines and
save it, it will build you a new rpm file without the dependencies that
dnf should let you install. Don't remove all the Depends, just the
texlive ones.

Which of course will promptly be reverted the next update leading to
eternal dependency hell fights, and would have to be done for every package
that has a dependency on a texlive subpackage.

Naturally the "correct" answer is not to mix source and package installs on
a package based system.

Why did you feel a need for CTAN?

The best of the bad options are:
Grab the texlive srpm and adapt it to your version (do note that the spec
for it is hideous).
Create an empty meta rpm that has no files contents but provides the
texlive stuff so the dependency chain isn't broken and you don't have to
custom install edited versions of a bunch of packages.

The latter is the best bad option, but there will be no texlive updates and
packages that expect a particular version or path may misbehave with your
CTAN install.

Because texlive from distro are not updated like texlive from CTAN
using tlmgr.

Because binaries are not statically linked and if a bug happens in a
library when you update fedora, you cannot work with your TeX
install.....

Something is inconsistent in these dependencies: if you succeed to
install texmaker from a distro without texlive installed from the same
distro, texmaker is able to find your texlive install (ie. /usr/local/
texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux/ instead of /usr/bin), so texmaker does
not depend of the texlive install.

Another solution is to download the rpm and install as instructed

http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html

http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmaker_fedora23-4.5-xm1.i386.rpm

http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmaker_fedora23-4.5-xm1.x86_64.rpm

And it says in the texmaker page that:

\begin{quote}
- These packages don't depend of the texlive packages of the corresponding distributions.
\end{quote}

Best Regards,


Antonio
