2021 relics in TeX Live 2022 distribution?

[Karl Berry]

Hi Jozef,

    1) The default installation directory prefix seems to be
    /usr/local/texlive/2021/

I believe (sincerely hope) you unknowingly downloaded the installer
package for 2021.  That would also explain the other things you are
seeing.  When I run the 2022 installer, it defaults to
/usr/local/texlive/2022.

tlmgr version for the TL22 release reports:
tlmgr revision 62273 (2022-02-28 09:52:17 +0100)

In the tlnet directory, there is an empty file TEXLIVE_2022 (or
TEXLIVE_2021), to provide a clue as to what is being provided, given the
asynchronous nature of mirror updates. --best, karl.
