Thanks. Several packages like texinfo and docbook need to adjust
proper dependencies so that apps building using them don't need to add
these dependencies every time.

Not sure. Logs from (pdf)latex and othe TeX utilities are quite direct
in printing what was not found. E.g. missing epsf.tex for texinfo-tex
which could simply be resolved by (Build)Requires: tex(epsf.tex)

The mass collection-like requirememtents are better to be avoided as
it installs lots of, probably unneeded files.

This error is likely caused by broken largefile support in the first
build of texlive for Fedora 18. I just pushed
texlive-2012-6.20121107_r28202.fc18 to stable which should addess it.
Could you please try to rebuild nickle against it?

Thanks,
Jindrich
