Trying to install a package (extdash
):
Initializing ...
Cannot open /var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/texlive-most-doc_20211026-1.pkgs!
-- Likely the package texlive-most-doc does not create the 'pkgs' file.
Use of uninitialized value in numeric lt (<) at /usr/bin/tllocalmgr line 234.
Argument "20211026-1" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at /usr/bin/tllocalmgr line 234.
Error: command install is not defined
I've seen this before, it looks like it's when some package has a version that's not just a number.
I don't know Perl.

This is unfortunate, I had no idea about the changes being done by the ArchLinux community to the TexLive packages. A quick look shows there are some considerable difference which make adapting
tllocalmgr
difficult; per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286197 it seems thattexlive-localmanager
tools (which I forked) will not be further developed, it is suggested to usetlmgr
instead.I will have a go over this week to see what is possible, but I'm not promising that I can make it work.

Hi all, I've forked the project and applied all patches. A stable release is now available at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tllocalmgr, I strongly urge everyone to switch to it!
The git package has also been updated to follow the fork, which means version numbers have changed again (sorry if this causes issues). Thanks everyone!
