我在配置TeXLive的自动更新时遇到问题尽管我很确定我下载了2018年的TeXLive版本我得到的是这个错误
$ ls -l /usr/local/texlive$ sudo tlmgr update --self --all
[sudo] Passwort :
(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
tlmgr: Remote repository is newer than local (2017 < 2018)
Cross release updates are only supported with
update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
Please see https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.
查找我的TexLive版本，它显示它是2018版本
$ ls -l /usr/local/texlive

$ lsb_release -a

将存储库更改为旧版本为我修复了此问题。
tlmgr option repository ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2017/tlnet-final
之后，我可以运行update命令。
在stackoverflow.com上的一条评论中找到了这个解决方案，但我不再了解这个线程了。
