installation of texlive-xetex fails

I am trying to install texlive (already successfully installed texlive-basic) and the xetex packages.

My intention is to use it in Zettlr (https://docs.zettlr.com/en/installing-latex/).

When running

sudo pacman -S texlive-xetex

it does not return an error code, but shows the following error log in the console:

How could I confirm the installtion is successful? What do the errors mean? How could I fix them?

Thanks anyone for your help!

Re: installation of texlive-xetex fails

I observe that if texlive-latex is installed, I do not see this error. Potentially a missing dependency for texlive-xetex?
