New issue by meator on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/43674
Description:
### Is this a new report?
Yes
### System Info
Void 6.1.21_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFFFFF
### Package(s) Affected
texlive-20210325_5, texlive-Xdvi-20210325_5
### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
_No response_
### Expected behaviour
I have `texlive` installed but I don't have `texlive-Xdvi` installed (because it isn't a dependency of `texlive`). `texlive` provides the `/usr/bin/extractbb` program which is actually a symlink to `/usr/bin/xdvipdfmx`. I expect `extractbb` to work.
### Actual behaviour
`/usr/bin/extractbb` is a broken symlink because `/usr/bin/xdvipdfmx` doesn't exist because `texlive-Xdvi` isn't installed.
Normally I would have added `texlive-Xdvi` as a dependency of `texlive` myself but because `texlive-Xdvi` is a subpackage of `texlive`, the "correct" solution would (I think) be to merge these two packages and remove `texlive-Xdvi` which could be complex.
### Steps to reproduce
1.
```
xbps-install -S texlive
```
2.
```
extractbb
```

Comment:
`/usr/bin/extractbb` should be vmoved into `texlive-Xdvi`. I'll do this in my upcoming TeXLive 2023 PR.

Comment:
there are a few other symlinks to xdvipdfmx that should probably be vmoved differently too:
```
texlive-20210325_5 /usr/bin/ebb -> /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
texlive-20210325_5 /usr/bin/extractbb -> /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
texlive-Xdvi-20210325_5 /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
texlive-dvi-20210325_5 /usr/bin/dvipdfm -> /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
texlive-dvi-20210325_5 /usr/bin/dvipdfmx -> /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
```

Comment:
I found another one.
```
texlive-20210325_5 /usr/bin/epstopdf -> ../share/texmf-dist/scripts/epstopdf/epstopdf.pl
```
`/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/epstopdf/epstopdf.pl` is in `texlive-ConTeXt`.
