Comment (by alakazam at melix.net):

 Sorry for missing this issue.

 I believe that jmr's revision 37228 should fix this bug ; I am currently
 attempting to build {{{texlive}}} (but am encountering difficulties ; that
 will be for another ticket). I agree that having multiple dependencies for
 the {{{tex}}} binary is evil. However, I think that keeping the {{{pTeX}}}
 dependency was explicitly requested when upgrading the {{{octave}}} port
 recently ; is it possible to handle multiple ports providing the same
 dependencies without resorting to variants ? I would imagine that the
 answer is no, which would mean I need to add a variant for {{{pTeX}}} so
 as to avoid the difficulties encountered in this ticket, and at the same
 time allow japanese {{{octave}}} users to rely on {{{pTeX}}} instead of
 {{{texlive}}}.
