Hi Sergio,
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);
[...]
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 report. texlive-scripts gets updated essentially every
night (that's why we use it for this check), so I think it would have
worked tomorrow (assuming tonight's update succeeds.) But I forced it
for tonight just in case. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow, one way
or another. If I'm not understanding the situation right, I'll check
further then.
I also made a note for next year's release to do the same, since I
believe the problem happened because I intentionally disabled, in order
to have consistency at the release, all the things that normally update
it :). (r78253)
Thanks again,
Karl
