TeX - LaTeX Asked by ysalmon on July 12, 2021
When invoking tlgmr, especially in the course of a distribution upgrade, it fails very early with a PERL error Can't locate TeXLive/TLConfig.pm in @INC followed by a list for @INC in the following form : @INC contains: /2020/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive /2020/tlpkg etc.
Setting the PERL5LIB to the appropriate folder allows to get a little further but things still fail with
kpathsea: configuration file texmf.cnf not found in these directories: /2020/bin/x86_64-linux etc.
This happens when one invokes tlmgr by specifying a relative path to it that does not begin with ./, eg. user@machine:/opt/texlive$ 2020/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr update --self --all.
For some (PERL-related ?) reason, this makes tlmgr search for things under /2020/.
Use user@machine:/opt/texlive$ ./2020/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr update --self --all instead.

According to the Arch Wiki of TeX Live, tlmgr script in TEXMFDIST is broken.
The method to fix is to edit TEXMFDIST/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl and replace $Master = "$Master/../.."; with $Master = "${Master}/../../..";.
Or for Arch-based Linux distro user, use tllocalmgr instead.
