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