octave: Missing texlive-collection-latex build dependency

[u-238@…]

Installing octave (the "staging into destroot" phase) fails if certain TeX fonts are missing. I was able to get these fonts by installing the package texlive-collection-latex. Perhaps this package should be added as a dependency.

I'm using MacPorts using the current ports info. If I do:

% port search texlive | grep latex
texlive-latex @34192_1 (tex)
texlive-latex-extra @34239 (tex)
texlive-latex-recommended @34240 (tex)
texlive-latex3 @19447_1 (tex)

I don't see "texlive-collection-latex".

That said, I've heard from others that Octave needs some LaTeX stuff installed for docs to build correctly. I've never been able to figure out which port(s) I need for that to happen. I don't think this specific package is what the answer is, but maybe it comes in another name?

Sorry I pasted the package name from the wrong tab in my web browser (thats the name of the Ubuntu package)

The MacPorts packages I had to install are these ones:

texlive-basic @34245_0+doc (active)
texlive-latex @34192_1+doc (active)

The font required is lcircle10
