Are you drunk out what are you talking about?
This is probably the most useless and most cryptic comment I have seen from you in the last n years (with n going to infinity).
Maybe you could try to wait a few seconds before sending of emails? It pays off reading and tubing to understand before typing ...</pre>

Assuming that "tubing" is "trying", that is exactly what I did. A
Debian user types <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">$ tlmgr update --list</pre>

<br>
One assumes from your reply that TLMGR then responds :<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
TLPDB: Cannot determine type of tlpdb from /home/norbert/texmf!
tlmgr: running in usermode, did you call `tlmgr init-usertree'?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
I therefore repeat the question — why does TLMGR not <i>know</i>
if the user has typed "tlmgr init-usertree" ? It must have access
to the parameters passed when it was called, so why does it need
to ask the user what he/she typed ?<br>
