tllocalmgr uses 'pkgs' files in order to get version information about
what texlive/CTAN packages are installed on the system. For official
texlive-* packages and some other ones this works fine, but a lot of
AUR packages *do not* create the a 'pkgs' file. In this situation,
tllocalmgr would fatal error out.
This is a little extreme, though sensible as without a valid 'pkgs' file
to parse for LaTeX package versions, tllocalmgr _might_ allow for
packages to be installed which are already present on the machine. This
however is _unlikly_ as when installing through pacman, we should hit
into the FS integrity check, causing install to fail.
Ideally we would want all texlive packages to always have a 'pkgs' file
but that is unlikely. An alternative idea might be to create a
pacman-hook to generate one if missing, but could be very tricky and
time consuming.
