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.=C2=A0 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 supporte=
d by the FreeBSD port?=C2=A0 If not, I assume I will need to wait until the=
 ported application is updated in the repository before I can update my ins=
talled Tex packages.
Thanks,Tim
