Sorry for that.
The problem is that tlmgr not accepts --location anymore as valid, which
was a stupid bug of mine.
There are three options:
- fetch the current tlmgr.pl from
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
and replace .../texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl with it. Then it should
work again.
- (don't know if that works on Mac, but for other Unix and Win it does)
TOMORROW get update-tlmgr-latest.sh (.exe for Windows) and run it
- do the update by hand TOMORROW!!:
1. set the default package repository location right:
tlmgr option location ....
2. update tlmgr
tlmgr update --self
The last two will only work after tomorrows update!
Sorry for the inconveniences ...
Best wishes
Norbert
