How can I get rid of dependencies?
You can use rpm --nodeps to install it, but then dnf will probably
complain at you forever about it.
Another option is to use "rpmrebuild -ep yourpackage.rpm". (dnf install
rpmrebuild) This will give you an editor (probably vi) to edit a
recreated spec file. If you remove the problematic Depends lines and
save it, it will build you a new rpm file without the dependencies that
dnf should let you install. Don't remove all the Depends, just the
texlive ones.
