Hi Tex Team, I'm trying to update the packages installed by TexLive, but the tlmgr needs to be updated first. When I try to update it via the tlmgr command, an error appears whenever it tries to extract the tar file to overwrite existing files. A sample error appears below: "tlpkg/TeXLive/trans.pl: Cannot extract through symlink tlpkg/TeXLive/trans.pl: File exists" Is this option to update tlmgr via the built-in update command not supported by the FreeBSD port? If not, I assume I will need to wait until the ported application is updated in the repository before I can update my installed Tex packages. Thanks,Tim
