Hi all,

what is the exact syntax? I installed tlpretest just before cryptographical
extensions were introduced and had no time to test anything, not even
update. Now update fails because update-tlmgr-latest is not recognized. I
tried to first update -self but it does not help either. I have repeated
the actions with -v, see below.
