Bug#880363: texlive-latex-extra: broken symlink: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfx/sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc -> ../../../../../color/icc/sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc

Hi Andreas,

>   /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfx/sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc -> ../../../../../color/icc/sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc

Good point. This is on purpose. This ICC profile is non-free so I cannot
depend on it. But *if* it is installed, pdfx package can use it for pdf
generation.

since files are searched with kpathsea in the texmf tree, and kpathsea
ignores dead links, as long as the non-free package is not installed the
file will not be found by programs.

> Is texlive-latex-extra missing a Depends/Recommends/Suggests: icc-profiles ?

  Section: non-free/graphics

Thus Depends are out of discussion. And I didn't find anything in the
policy that states that recommends or suggests onto non-free is allowed
in main. Am I missing something?

Best

Norbert
