Hi, If you try to upgrade texlive 2025 to 2026 following the instructions, after having run sh update-tlmgr-latest.sh -- --upgrade you remain with a broken distro because tlmgr update --self reports tlmgr: Remote database at https://ctan.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet (revision 78213 of the texlive-scripts package) seems to be older than the local installation (revision 78221 of texlive-scripts); Please either downgrade the texlive-scripts that get installed with the update-tlmgr-latest.sh script or upgrade those in the repo. Note that it is not that I am using a mirror that has not yet updated. The problem seems to be in the original copy that gets mirrored. Thanks for the attention, Sergio
