Howdy,

Did you previously install MacTeX-2022? The MacTeX installer doesn't overwrite a previous version of TeX Live or information installed previously.

Unless you removed TeX Live 2022 yourself you now have both versions of TeX Live. This is because there are cases where enough has changed between versions that some of your documents won't typeset under the newer version. You can switch between versions using Tex Live Utility: see the Configure->Change Default TeX Live Version… menu item.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
