minted seems to depend on fvextra, catchfile, xstring, and framed. Can you please add a DEPENDS.txt file to include them, so the dependencies can be automatically resolved when installing minted? This can be useful for users who didn't install the full scheme texlive. Thanks!

wow, that's super interesting.

coming from miktex, this was kinda strange for me. but yeah, they know that :)

Dependencies on other packages
In general, TL does not try to track package dependencies, since there is no reliable way to detect dependencies automatically. (That would mean installing packages during the TeX run, as MiKTeX does, and there are complications with doing this in TL.)
