Re: TeXLive and dist-upgrades of Debian Stable

Hi again Govinda,

    The following is the result of echo $PATH :
    /usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux

Ok, so that explains why when you run "tex", you get the TL'25 TeX.
So what's the problem again :)?

    1. How to update TL 2025.

tlmgr update --all

    2. had queried about ~/texmf (got the answer.)

Indeed, not affected.

    3. How to switch between my old TeXLive and this one.

As several people have said: change your PATH. If
/usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux is before /usr/bin,
you'll get the TL25 you just installed. If /usr/bin is earlier,
you'll get Debian TeX.

If you have a terminal window or shell in which you get the Debian TeX
from "tex", its PATH surely has /usr/bin first. --best, karl.
