This package contains this file:
/etc/preremove/texlive-collection-basic.sh
which in turn calls:
/usr/libexec/update_tlpdb
which is a Perl script. I understand that "texlive-collection-basic"
requires
"perl_base", but if a user removed Perl first then uninstallation of
texlive
would fail. Perhaps "update_tlpdb" could be rewritten as a shell script.
Failure of a preremove script doesn't cause uninstallation to fail.
In any case, update_tlpdb is the tip of the iceberg. The preremove
script also calls (indirectly) the Perl scripts
/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/updmap.pl and
/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/fmtutil.pl.
