Dear all,
I've encountered a strange behavior with the "tlcritical"
repository. I've launched an update and it failed to download
"texlive.infra" and "texlive.infra.i386-linux" with the errors below...
Since then, tlmgr does not work anymore and exits
with
Can't locate object method "option" via package "TeXLive::TLPDB" at
/opt/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr line 1053.
I think tlmgr has been only partially upgraded and as a result is
not functioning anymore... What can I do to help solving this issue?
Yours,
Erwan
