Yep, sure enough, if you install with -doc texlive-documentation-base (and, I imagine, texlive-documentation-*) winds up not containing any files, and MacPorts doesn't like that.

I'll have it install a dummy file to prevent this error (say, the list of tex packages installed by the package, which isn't a bad thing to have around somewhere). If it can be done without mangling the texlive dependencies too much, I'll exclude texlive-documentation ports from dependencies if -doc is specified.

Updated the portgroup in r68968, bumped revisions in r68969, and updated the metaport in r68970. -doc builds and installs for me now.

Replying to dports@…:

-doc builds and installs for me now.

As it does for me.

Thanks!
