Wed 27 May 2020 11:43:53 AM UTC, comment #1: You are right, Boud. The problem is with the mix of versions. But what you proposed didn't fix the problem because the old tarball were still present. So, the fix was to move the old tarball and download the new one to install it. Have a look at this commit: https://gitlab.com/makhlaghi/maneage-paper/-/commit/7078e50

Texlive presently apparently requires manual cleaning if you have a mix of old (pre-April of year X) installed package and new (April year X, up to March of year (X+1)) - see

Thanks for doing the Commit Raul, it was indeed a very interesting situation and I am happy we can now account for it. Let me know when it has been rebased over the Maneage branch and I'll merge it into Maneage :-).
To include that problem in Boud's suggested 'clean-texlive' rule, added with Boud's suggested steps, probably we can also add a special flag which will stop Maneage from using the "Software directory" for the TeXLive tarball.
Because ultimately the whole problem originated from the fact that you had 'install-tl-unx.tar.gz' (belonging to TeXLive 2019) with the tarballs of other software. Therefore Maneage was not downloading the 2020 installation tarball. It is really bad that TeXLive doesn't version its files :-(!
