This is unfortunate, I had no idea about the changes being done by the ArchLinux community to the TexLive packages. A quick look shows there are some considerable difference which make adapting tllocalmgr difficult; per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286197 it seems that texlive-localmanager tools (which I forked) will not be further developed, it is suggested to use tlmgr instead.

I will have a go over this week to see what is possible, but I'm not promising that I can make it work.

Hi all, I've forked the project and applied all patches. A stable release is now available at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tllocalmgr, I strongly urge everyone to switch to it!

The git package has also been updated to follow the fork, which means version numbers have changed again (sorry if this causes issues). Thanks everyone!

@hv15 all files in /var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/ folder have 644 permissions and are owned by root, so I'm not sure this has something to do with a particular texlive package installed by pacman.

@jfernandz, what are the permissions on texlive-most-doc_20200622-1.pkgs? I don't have/use texlive-most-doc, so I can't confirm where the problem is coming from...

When I run tllocalmgr status I get the following error message:

Initializing ...
Cannot open /var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/texlive-most-doc_20200622-1.pkgs

@phenethylamin, the error message is not very clear, but the lscape package is not present in the TLPDB (locally or upstream it seems). Doing a search through http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb shows that it isn't even listed, except as part of latex-graphics. This seems to be by design as could be understood on the package webpage: The package is part of the latex-graphics bundle, which is one of the collections in the LaTeX ‘required’ set of packages (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lscape).

@Abello966, could you let us know what package you were trying to install?

Same issue with latest version, calling install (on lscape package). Full output:

tllocalmgr
Retrieving new TeXLive database from CTAN...
Initializing ...
Welcome to the TeXLive Local Manager shell. Type 'help' for assistance.
tllocalmgr> install lscape
Can't call method "revision" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/tllocalmgr line 418.

@Abello966, how are you calling tllocalmgr? What CTAN package are you trying to install?

Abello966 commented on 2020-08-03 02:28 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-03 02:39 (UTC) by Abello966)

Latest version's (git tag:tllocalmgr-fix-texlive-local-match.patch) install command is not working. Using tllocalmgr returns that "command install is not defined" while opening the shell and running install "manually" returns "Can't call method "revision" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/tllocalmgr line 418."

@hv15 aaah yes, thank you for the answer! Could you pin your answer or put it into the --help page?

Hi @TornaxO7, if you used tllocalmgr, then it will have installed the TeX packages as ArchLinux packages (using makepkg/pacman). Have you searched for these in the installed local packages, e.g. pacman -Qs texlive-local-...? You can then uninstall using pacman.

EDIT 1: typos...

Hi @AlphaJack, sorry for my late response. Upstream hasn't updated some variables to handle texlive 2020, I'll create patch of this in the next 24 hours. Thank you for reporting the issue :)

EDIT: Done, please let me know if there are any problems.
