Comment (by NicosPavlov):

 Replying to [comment:18 fusionfan]:
 > You sir are a steely-eyed missile man! -docs seem to have resolved the
 issue: I managed to update {{{kdelibs4}}} without it trying to install
 latex.

 Good. I'll then update the paths in kde4-kile (since you confirmed that
 even older systems use the newer one), and close the ticket.

 > Perhaps some other packages should be revised on the longer run to only
 require latex as a runtime dependency?

 Possibly, but this involves several packages, which could involve some
 work out of the scope of this ticket in my opinion. I'll have a look at
 it.

 > As to why were my packages installed with the +docs variant is a mystery
 to me, as I have not set it up as such myself, and the {{{variants.conf}}}
 did not contain the +docs.

 This is a wild guess, but it is possible that a port had a default +docs
 variant, which then propagated to others, but I may be wrong here.
