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
