Bug#952460: texlive-latex-base hyperref.sty depends on texlive-latex-extra letltxmacro.sty

Ummm.

No.

In 2019-12 the former "oberdiek" bundle, which contained about a hundred
different packages, was split into separate ones, and put into
collections, but obviously some of those are misplaced.

I will discuss with Karl Berry what we do, this is obviously not optimal
a solution.

For now I guess you need to fix your build deps, but this will become
(hopefully) unnecessary with the next upload of TeX Live.

Thanks for the clear and detailed report

Norbert
