Hi again,

The bug disappeared for a few days on its own and returned back from
yesterday. I checked Sebastian's reply at
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2020-May/045573.html, but that
didn't helped either:

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.
