Hi Maxim,

Sorry for responding so late.

The 1.10.9 comes with the TODO

   ;; TODO: In the next rebuild cycle, provide texlive a version of ruby-hydra
   ;; that does not depend on byebug and rspec, so that their dependencies can
   ;; be updated more freely.  For now pin this version to avoid rebuilds.

ruby-nokogiri@1.10.9 is an indirect input of ruby-hydra, which in turn
is an input of texlive-hyphen-package. So nothing can be done until the
“next texlive rebuild cycle”. How long are the cycles, and is the
current one coming to an end soon by a chance?
