That is to be expected. We did never and do not promise inter-package
dependencies to be correct, but we **try** to keep collections and their
dependencies complete. That means, if you install collection-X, then
everything you need should be installed automatically.

But, we are fine with getting inter-package dependencies and add them to
our system. You can either send a patch to the tlpsrc files, or a simple
list (package -depends-> package*).

Best

Norbert
