:

Confusion about TeXLive version
I do the following which indicates TeXLive 2015 as root:
root@masi:/home/masi# tex -version
TeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2015/dev/Debian)
kpathsea version 6.2.1dev

I run as masi
masi@masi:~$ tex --version
TeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2016)
kpathsea version 6.2.2

I run xelatex
on any document which indicates TeXLive 2016 as masi
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3experimental/l3str/l3flag.sty)
Also as masi
command -v tlmgr
/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr
Also as masi
command -v tex
/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux/tex
TeXLive: 2016, 2015
OS: Debian 8.5
Instructions: How do I update my TeX distribution?
tlmgr
with texlive 2015. When I looked around, they told me that the repositories thattlmgr
tried to use are not available anymore, they gave me this command to change the default repositorytlmgr option repository ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2015/tlnet-final
. Since you are with texlive 2016, try to change the repositories to this for exampletlmgr option repository http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
(found it here) – Sidahmed Dec 31 '16 at 16:34tex --version
here in comments. – Sidahmed Dec 31 '16 at 16:40tlmgr option repository ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2015/tlnet-final
. If you wanna update to texlive 2016, you can see here http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1092/how-to-install-vanilla-texlive-on-debian-or-ubuntu – Sidahmed Dec 31 '16 at 16:44tlmgr
(ortex
) he is using tlmgr of the 2015 version. You can manually search for thetlmgr
of the 2016 version by going to the folder where you installed texlive 2016, and execute this commandfind . -name "tlmgr"
. Then you can use it by typing it's absolute path. – Sidahmed Dec 31 '16 at 16:50
