<div class="">TLU runs kpsewhich during the launch process, and it would log an error if that failed. I'm not sure why it's failing in update-tlmgr-latest.sh, unless you have another kpsewhich.<br class="">

Yes. Some application packages required Macports-installed "texlive-bin”.

<div class="">Since some packages (like OpenSC) come with documentation in XML, they may require “dblatex” to convert it to something useful - and “dblatex” requires “texlive-bin”… But for now I’ve deleted the whole bunch, as my TeX needs are served by MacTeX.pkg
anyway. </div>
