[tex-live] tlmgr: Use of uninitialized value $filesize

[David Carlisle]

Hi,

update this morning (on a cygwin64 build) is failing on every package

Use of uninitialized value $filesize in numeric ne (!=) at
/usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 1989.
TLUtils::check_file: removing
/usr/local/texlive/2016/temp/mathastext.tar.xz, sizes differ:
Use of uninitialized value $filesize in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 1991.
TLUtils::check_file:   TL=, arg=14676
TLPDB::_install_package: downloading did not succeed
tlmgr: Installation of new version of mathastext failed, trying to unwind.
[32/55, 01:35/03:09] update: mathastext [576k] (40875 -> 41096) ...
tlmgr: Restoring old package state succeeded.

tlmgr --self
worked OK but

tlmgr --all
less so?

$ tlmgr update --self
tlmgr: package repository http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/local/tlpretest (verified)
tlmgr: saving backups to /usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg/backups
tlmgr: no self-updates for tlmgr available.

Then I tried to use the update shell script instead, downloaded it but:

$ /c/users/davidc/Downloads/update-tlmgr-latest\(1\).sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
