--- Comment #4 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Thanks for reporting this.
I guess the recent texlive updates changed/broke it.
I did some testing with:
$ echo hello | pandoc -o test.pdf
and found that the simplest though not smallest solution seems to be to install texlive-collection-latexrecommended: but texlive-collection-latex + texlive-ec seems to be sufficient for basic pdflatex use with T1 font encoding.
So for now I will just make pandoc-pdf depend on texlive-collection-latex and texlive-ec I think.
For --latex-engine=xelatex, texlive-collection-xetex is needed, and for lualatex, texlive-collection-luatex.
