  • Merge "Troubleshooting" and "Possible hangups".
  • Don't list $PATH issues twice.
  • Remove mention of dvipng for pgf (which doesn't use dvipng).
  • Be more generic re: missing latex packages (this applies to all texlive installs, and the required list is given elsewhere).

I think minimalist any installs? (like the original issue was from someone on a mac)

I'll claim this text is at least not worse than the previous one, and that a more detailed description of $PATH (probably something like "shutil.which("foo") returns something else than None) should go to environment_variables_faq.rst, but this can be done as a separate PR.

(Also, the dependency on dvipng may be removed soon, see #30039.)
