File::Basename comes from perl-modules, which is needed by perl,
which is needed by tetex-bin. Well, this doesn't make sure perl is
installed, when tetex-base is there, but the description of
tetex-base says: "Together with tetex-bin you'll have a minimal
installation." So virtually everybody will have installed tetex-bin.
