Thanks for taking the time to test this. I guess this works for most shells, but
in the context of a Dockerfile I hit this error:

  10.39 No match for argument: 'texlive-collection-lang*'
  10.45 Error: Unable to find a match: 'texlive-collection-lang*'

You can reproduce this by running:

  $ echo "'texlive-collection-lang*'" > /tmp/deps
  $ sudo dnf install $(cat /tmp/deps)

I was able use this instead:

  xargs -a /tmp/deps sudo dnf install

I'll use this instead in Fedora and others. xargs is installed by default in
base Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora containers.
