Hmmm, I will have to try on a fresh VM and verify. I had to install a
number of additional packages that were not installed with basic
texlive-latex and texlive-latex-recommended. It could be my
configuration, although none of the additional packages I had to install
is referenced in my config. For example

texlive-wrapfig
texlive-ulem
texlive-capt-of
texlive-collections-fontsextra

were all necessary before I could export a basic org file as PDF. Are
thewswe considered a basic latex installation? What exactly defines a
basic latex installation? Are all the texlive packages
standard/consistent across distributions? (this was on a Fedora 37
system, previously I was on Ubuntu).
