[SOLVED] texlive-core replaced with texlive-basic

Just did an upgrade on my system and noticed texlive-basic replaces texlive-core, and the size difference if huge for the two packages (~500mb vs 10mb). Now it seems that my projects won't compile, so something probably missing here. I looked at the wiki, but it doesn't mention  texlive-basic at all, just the core package.

Anyone know what's going on here and if there are additional packages needed that was previously included?

(being subscribed to arch-dev-public makes it easier to be aware of such changes before they hapopen).

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Ah, great! Ended up trying the meta package, and it compiles as it should now. Thanks!
