W: texlive-fonts-extra: duplicate-font-file also in (fonts-noto-extra) [usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/google/noto/NotoSansMono-SemiBold.ttf] W: texlive-fonts-extra: duplicate-font-file also in (fonts-noto-extra) [usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/google/noto/NotoSansMono-Thin.ttf] Therefore we declare a dep on these packages and replace it by a reference (soft link) to the file. For fonts-noto-extra does not work out: replacing 20MB files in a package by a dep on a > 300MB package is not really an option.
