Yes, it's Bash; I mentioned Perl and GhostScript as they are dependencies of the
script.

This is a known issue with some of the language packages hard-blocking newer
versions of the base TeXLive packages, as a new release of the base doesn't
necessarily mandate a new release of all the subsidiary packages [1]. For a
number of years, I (uses TeX every day) just used the standalone installer
provided by TUG.org, as the blocking used to be much harder to resolve.
