Well, in the end this is not so easily possible. gnuplot depends on texlive-bin as a native-input. I replaced this by texlive-minimal, but I think the native input can be dropped completely. The only difference I could see was the installation of a file /gnu/store/cgkbv12bpd2v5razsj2nkx7xfrf6fxy0-gnuplot-5.0.2/share/texmf/tex/latex/gnuplot/gnuplot.cfg that contains essentially nothing: %% A configuration file for the epslatex terminal by Harald Harders. %% This file is part of Gnuplot. %% \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \endinput %% %% End of file `gnuplot.cfg'. and of postscript files in /gnu/store/cgkbv12bpd2v5razsj2nkx7xfrf6fxy0-gnuplot-5.0.2/share/gnuplot/5.0/PostScript which gv cannot display. Is it okay to drop the dependency? Second, there is gettext with a native input texlive-bin. It is supposedly used for tests; I did not see anything evident in the logs (but then, searching for "tex" in "gettext" logs, it is easy to overlook things...). Probably that is overkill, and I would assume we can safely remove the input. But then, this would have to be done in core-updates. What do you think? Andreas
