<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thanks Lars. I do understand the first error: the “local” Tex Live is older than the repository. That is because the repository has moved on to 2023, while my “local” installation
is still in 2022.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">So, I should update the local installation, right? The problem is that this installation isn’t on my computer. It’s in an “Docker image”, which is an image of a virtual Linux machine
with TexLive 2022 installed. I have to use it (no matter why), can’t go around that. However, I can do some things within it. For instance, I can launch update scripts, or set the tlmgr repository.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Above I’ve detailed how I tried two solutions. One is to do a minimal update with update-tlgmr-latest.sh . The other is to set up a historic repo. Each gives me an error (neither
of which is about the local tex live being older than the remote repository.) <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In short, this is as if I’m given a new machine with Alpine Linux and TexLive 2022 installed. I would like to install a couple of packages, but I’d very much NOT erase the TL 2022
and reinstall the whole 2023 (in fact, I practically can’t). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
