tlmgr cannot install luatexja-fontspec

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hi,

your PATH setting for use with "sudo" is incorrect. It uses the Debian
TL system installed under /usr/share which can only be updated by
apt-get, not by tlmgr. Now tlmgr from Debian TL tries to fetch data
from TL by TUG and this is the reason of the version mismatch. If you
want to use TL by TUG, its binary directory must be at the beginning
of PATH for all users.
