Hello,

I tried updating tlmgr (I want to install a new package), but an error 
occurs. I linked what happens with the standard mirror, the same happens 
with my default mirror 
(http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/mirrors/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet)


me at MY-PC:~$ sudo tlmgr -v update --repo

Please try from a different mirror and/or wait a few minutes
and try again; usually this is because of transient updates.
If problems persist, feel free to report to texlive at tug.org.
