Circular dependencies in texlive?

Hi,

I tried to build texlive-2013-0.1.20130608_r30832.fc19.src.rpm for EPEL, the build failed with the following error:

error: Failed build dependencies:
        harfbuzz-devel is needed by texlive-3:2013-0.1.20130608_r30832.el6.x86_64
        graphite2-devel is needed by texlive-3:2013-0.1.20130608_r30832.el6.x86_64


So, I tried to build graphite2-1.2.2-2.fc19.src.rpm, the build failed with the following error:

error: Failed build dependencies:
        texlive-helvetic is needed by graphite2-1.2.2-2.el6.x86_64
        texlive-sectsty is needed by graphite2-1.2.2-2.el6.x86_64
        texlive-tocloft is needed by graphite2-1.2.2-2.el6.x86_64
        texlive-xtab is needed by graphite2-1.2.2-2.el6.x86_64
        texlive-multirow is needed by graphite2-1.2.2-2.el6.x86_64

All these dependencies are built in texlive-2013.

So, building texlive-2013 requires graphite2-devel, and building graphite2-devel requires texlive2013.

How can I do?

Does somebody succeed to open texlive.spec?
When trying to browse this file, kwrite suddenly stops.

Alain
