extractpdfmark is available on debian stretch, see:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/extractpdfmark
https://github.com/trueroad/extractpdfmark

It's not available in Fedora, unfortunately.
tlmgr is not available in Fedora either. So I compiled extractpdf from 
source.

I was already thinking about adding a Debian container. It will be 
pretty quick.
The only problem is guile-1.8: I guess I'll have to pin it from sid.

So it would be: a fedora container, a debian container and a full 
virtual machine running Fedora with LXQT desktop.

I never used lily-git.tcl so I totally forgot about it.
In the container try updating your .bashrc this way (I've added 
auxiliar to the path and an alias for lily-git):

$ tail ~/.bashrc
# Add other directories to the PATH
export PATH=$HOME/git-cl:$LILYPOND_GIT/scripts/auxiliar:$PATH

# Let some GUI programs work on host display
alias gitk="DISPLAY=:0 gitk"
alias lily-git.tcl="DISPLAY=:0 lily-git.tcl"

I will add these changes in next release.
