Sorry, but I'm getting old. For years, I upgraded my TeX Live system with the recipe at <https://www.tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html>, but now I'm stymied in step 8: $ echo $PATH /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/binutils/bin:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/opt/texlive/2026/bin/x86_64-linux:/opt/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux:/home/andreas/Work/tmp/lilypond/bin $ pwd /opt/texlive/2026 $ sh ./update-tlmgr-latest.sh -- --upgrade Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good. Uncompressing TeX Live Manager Updater 100% ./runme.sh: updating in /opt/texlive/2026... ./runme.sh: tlmgr version says this is TeX Live 2026, ./runme.sh: and this updater script created: Sun Mar 1 04:33:00 CET 2026. ./runme.sh: have TL 2026, new version also 2026; ./runme.sh: using --upgrade doesn't make sense; terminating. (./runme.sh: makeself creation date = Sun Mar 1 04:33:00 CET 2026.) Please advise! Andreas
