[tex-live] installation of TeXLive pretest failed

[Artemio González López]

At the end of the network installation of TeXLive pretest (on a 27” 2011 iMac running El Capitan 10.11.4) there was the following error message:

Time used for installing the packages: 538:31
running mktexlsr /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist ...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Done.

Giving up. at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 2741.

It seems then that the installation didn’t complete successfully. What could I do to fix this error (short of starting from scratch!)?

Thanks everybody,

Artemio
