Can't install LaTeX with doc: collision dvipdfmx

[tobiasBora]

Describe the bug

In NixOs unstable, I installed Texlive with the documentation:

    (texlive.combine {
      inherit (texlive) scheme-full;
      pkgFilter = pkg: lib.elem pkg.tlType [ "run" "bin" "doc" ];
    })

to avoid this issue #171218, I also need to switch first my configuration to (maybe a smaller number would also work):

  security.pam.loginLimits = [{
    domain = "*";
    type = "soft";
    item = "nofile";
    value = "262144";
  }];

then I get an error:

We should add a regression test for this one.

[tobiasBora]

So basically two packages (texlive and dvipdfmx) provide the same man page for dvipdfmx, right?

Note that as a workaround, one can do:

    ((texlive.combine {
      inherit (texlive) scheme-full;
      pkgFilter = pkg: lib.elem pkg.tlType [ "run" "bin" "doc" ];
    }).override (args: { ignoreCollisions = true; }))

to ignore collisions.
