Description Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

If dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra is not installed, this happens during the install phase of xcolor (at least version 2.11):

+ echo ' * Making documentation: ./xcolor.dtx'
 * Making documentation: ./xcolor.dtx
+ read -r
+ LAST_E_CMD=einfo
+ return 0
+ texi2dvi -q -c --language=latex ./xcolor.dtx
+ die

(I had set +x for debugging) Running the texi2dvi command without -q gives this output:

# texi2dvi  -c --language=latex ./xcolor.dtx

chngpage.sty is provided by dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra. But I can not install that since it, in turn, depends on xcolor. As a result, we have a circular dependency.
