I had started out trying just to install

        texlive-base-bin ( ~ 2.5 Mb)

but something extra from texlive was needed to obtain installed the binary

        pdflatex

which was why my last effort to print medications failed, but pdflatex was 
callable after I installed the full 

        texlive (~ 170 Mb)

so now I am not sure if texlive-base-bin was unneeded and/or would be installed 
automatically with texlive

--> I assume we do not bother to dissect out what from texlive was needed?... 
is it best practice to make the whole package a dependency (despite it would 
require more space in any binary gnumed)?

--> check-prerequisites.py presumably now needs something added?

--> presumably an instruction about texlive needs also to be added to 
packagers' reference

@ K: re output of (now-working) pdflatex command -- it's now extraneous, right?
