Rather than installing TexLive shouldn't we fix the SCons tests?

I have and need the full TeXLive distribution so I can never check
these sorts of things locally.

Perhaps we should have a programme whenever something like this happens
of fixing the tests before getting people to install stuff.

SCons tests should only ever have skipped tests (even if there are 1000
of them), never failing ones, no matter what the installation set of
the test host.

And on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/… all the rest of the stuff that gets pulled
in. :-)
