Package: ocamlweb
Version: 1.37-8
Installing ocaml-core on a system with no TeX installed pulls in half
the universe. Installing ocaml-core on a system with a TeX
installation works better.
ocaml-core depends on ocamlweb, and ocamlweb has
Depends: tetex-extra | texlive-latex-extra, ocaml-base-nox-3.10.2
tetex-extra is an obsolete compatibility package, which pulls in half
the universe. Installing texlive-latex-extra first partly works
around this issue.
I believe that there are at least two bugs here:
1. The Depends is ordered wrongly; it should say
Depends: texlive-latex-extra | tetex-extra
2. There's no reason it should be Depends, Recommends should be
enough.
I'm also filing a bug about ocaml-core.
