texlive-xetex (@17780_0) missing a dependency

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
The latest version of fontspec (included with texlive-xetex) fails to run if packages
texlive-latex3 texlive-latex-extra
are not installed, yet those are not listed as dependencies for texlive-xetex. Fontspec will first complain about a missing "expl3.sty" file (provided with texlive-latex3, and will also complain about a missing "binhex.tex" file (provided with texlive-latex-extra).
I think that these changes have to do with the transition to LaTeX 3.
You can repeat this problem by installing texlive-xetex (@17780_0) and typing
xelatex example.tex
(on the attached file).

Thanks for the report. It looks like this is an upstream bug in the dependencies as the texlive package database shows no dependencies for fontspec, yet clearly it has some.
I really don't want to add a dependency on texlive-latex-extra, because that would mean adding it to the default texlive+medium install, and it's a 300MB package.
Looks like in the latest CTAN snapshot the kastrup package (which provides binhex.sty) has moved from latex-extra to generic-recommended, so perhaps we can update to that. Not sure there's anything we can do about the expl3 dependency other than pulling in latex3 as a dependency...

Should be fixed in r74955. (Sorry it took so long; it's a pain to regenerate the texlive distfiles)
