Dear TeXLive Users/Developers,
I have a problem with tlmgr that affects my texlive installation since TL2021.
Context. I'm on a Linux (Fedora 35 flavor) box where I have installed texlive
as root with the TUG script. In this way all the users of the Linux box can
use LaTeX. I'm currently using an up-to-date TL2022 full installation.
Once installed everything work as expected. Unfortunately when I run (as
root):
> tlmgr update --all
the updated packages have their rights access changed from 755 to 700 (644 to
600 if they are files). This provokes a file not found error when the user try
to use the updated style, class, font or documentation.
At the moment, I tame the issue by manually searching for the wrong right
configurations and reverting them to the expected ones. This is a boring and
a quite error-prone process that I would prefer to avoid.
This behavior is occurring since TL2021
I googled around but I can't find anything on the topic.
Am I doing something wrong? Do you have a way to fix it?
Thank you in advance for your help
Walter
