Re: Installation Failure

Af you tried a different mirror? That mirror seems incomplete

https://ctan.org/mirrors

I've tried 3 of those cicku.me mirrors, all of them are missing texlive.* stuff under

/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/

the only occurace of the term texlive is in the title.

Compare with

https://mirror.physik.tu-berlin.de/pub/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/

it has 187 texlive terms in that page.

Subject: Installation Failure

Hi. I am trying to install texlive on an ubuntu Docker container. I am following the instructions on this page: https://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html

I am getting the following errors:

TLPDB::_install_data: downloading did not succeed (download_file failed) for https://sa.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/texlive-scripts.tar.xz
TLUtils::install_packages: Failed to install texlive-scripts
                           texlive-scripts will be retried later.
Installing [4/4, time/total: 00:07/00:14]: texlive.infra [610k]
TLPDB::_install_data: downloading did not succeed (download_file failed) for https://sa.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/texlive.infra.tar.xz
TLUtils::install_packages: Failed to install texlive.infra
                           texlive.infra will be retried later.


As you see, there are two tars that are not available.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Regards
