OK, your later messages explain it better.  I'll have to look at texlive-collection-formatsextra; it's possible that it needs to require texlive-collection-fontsrecommended.  But a better solution to your immediate problem would be for someone to look at docbook-utils and see whether it really needs texlive-collection-formatsextra.  It currently requires the obsolete texlive-collection-htmlxml, which pulls in a lot of other packages, probably unnecessarily in most cases.  See
   https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/texlive-collection-htmlxml.html

That would require a TeX-y who knows the TeX relationships of the files.
 From what I can see jadetex and pdfjadtex are used by docbook-utils,

OK, so docbook-utils definitely needs texlive-collection-formatsextra, which is what I hoped to avoid.  In that case, it's probably not worth checking whether it needs the other dependencies of texlive-collection-htmlxml. And jadetex needs texlive-collection-fontsrecommended for marvosym, so I need to fix the dependencies of texlive-collection-formatsextra.  I'll do that shortly.

Thanks Ken

Thanks for reporting the problem.

I will trim back the BUILD_REQUIRES to ...formatsextra (and ...plaingeneric? for html?) without other additions to see if zp_texlive_finish.dash completes under scallywag and also whether the package builds with just those packages.

Why do you need explicit texlive build dependencies at all? If what you really need is docbook-utils, you should just require it and let it pull in whatever texlive collections are needed. This should work now that I've fixed formatsextra.
