Run a plot script that contains
from matplotlib import rc
rc('text', usetex=True)
and makes use of LaTeX markup (some labels containing "$...$").
Execution will fail with a long traceback and an error message from LaTeX,
appended below.
Cause:
According to https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/16911,
Matplotlib v3.2.1 introduced the dependence on file type1ec.sty
"so that unicode input works (#14146 and linked issues)".
Proposed solution:
Add package cm-super-minimal to list of suggested packages.
In a separate report, I will propose to elevate LaTeX dependencies
from "Suggests" to "Recommends" or "Depends".
