Could you, please, try to compile the User's Guide?

The issue is simple, I would like to determine what is the minimal set
of latex packages required to have a working LyX version.

I do not see these problems because I have all the texlive packages
installed. For the Fedora package tough that is not the best scenario.

For example in the spec file we have:

# basic set of latex packages
Recommends: texlive-collection-latexrecommended
# required for file conversions
Requires: ImageMagick
Requires: xdg-utils
Requires: ghostscript
## produce PDF files directly from DVI files
Requires: tex-dvipdfmx
## convert eps to pdf
Requires: tex-epstopdf
## checking the quality of the generated latex
Requires: tex-chktex
## instant preview
Requires: tex-dtl
Requires: tex(cprotect.sty)
# LaTeX packages required to compile the User's Manual
Requires: tex(dvips)
Requires: tex(esint.map)
Requires: tex(esint.sty)
Requires: tex(latex)
Requires: tex(nomencl.sty)
Requires: tex(simplecv.cls)
Requires: tex(ulem.sty)
Requires: tex(xcolor.sty)

As you can see we are identifying a given set of packages in order to
have a minimal working package.

This is not a difficult problem but it takes time to get all the
packages right. It would be nice to have an automatic way to do this
but for now I settled for the manual solution.
