How to compile LaTeX with 'hyperref' package?

Hello,

My profile contains the following packages:

I fail to compile a “main.tex” containing ‘\usepackage{hyperref}’ with
the command ‘pdflatex main.tex’ on GuixSD.  The error message is the
following:

I am not sure if this is just me being ignorant or if this is a bug.
This command was succeeding both on Fedora and Debian.

I will try with ‘texlive-full’ to see if things work better.

s/texlive-full/texlive

The installation was quicker that I expect since it was already
compiled.  I confirm that compiling with ‘texlive’ succeed since
‘hyperref.sty’ is found directly in ‘texlive’ store output directory.

Maybe the environment variable TEXINPUTS should be generated in
“~/.guix-profile/etc/profile”?

Shall I open a bug for this?

Thanks.

That’s not necessary as the broken up texlive-* packages are currently
not sufficient to build a usable Texlive subset in a profile.  I’m
working on a profile hook, which is similar to what the texlive-union
procedure does.

I consider this to be the same as bug 27217.

I agree.

Thanks for pointing me to this bug.
