<br>
Then explicitly telling tlmgr to use the appropriate tlnet url is enough. <br>

So<br>
<br>
tlmgr - -repository <a href="http://mylocalmirrorontheweb/tlnet/">http://mylocalmirrorontheweb/tlnet/</a> other-options<br>

update" via this mirror. I configured tlmgr to use this mirror, but I<br>
get an error message, I can not make sense of:<br>

OK, it seems texlive.tlpdb.xz and texlive.tlpdb are corrupt, but<br>
