Installing new dependencies when updating a package

Hi Yukai,

    When updating a package, I find its newly added dependencies (recorded
    in DEPENDS.txt) are not automatically installed.

I think I must defer to Norbert, without doing a bunch of research.

    When updating a package, I find its newly added dependencies (recorded
    in DEPENDS.txt) are not automatically installed.

The DEPENDS.txt is not used directly. But in this case, I did manage to
remember to update minted.tlpsrc with the new dependencies, including
latex2pydata, so the bug seems valid. The tlpsrc file is used to build
the new texlive.tlpdb file nightly, which is what tlmgr actually uses.
(Someday maybe I'll automate updating the tlpsrc list from DEPENDS.txt.)

Thanks for the report,
Karl
