[tex-live] how to get tlmgr to list installed status for packages from a given (non-installed) collection

[Norbert Preining]

Hi

> I get the list of packages included in the collection,
> but not the information about installation status of them

	tlmgr update --list
will tell you about "forcibly removed" if there are. If a collection
is installed, all of the depending package *need* to be installed,
otherwise tlmgr will warn you.

> Is there a way to get the info from tlmgr ? 

Well, of course, by parsing the output, as you suggested, but
I admit that there is no indication in the output that tells
you that a depending package is missing.

Hope that helps

Norbert
