The older texlives (pre-2018) are frozen and can't be updated. >|> Why would you be trying to update m-tx? >| >|Because I thought it would update all dependencies too. >| >|Oh well, I have been updating bleeding-edge MusiXTeX and PMX manually >|into $HOME/texmf since time immemorial while leaving the rest of TeX >|to Debian/Ubuntu, so the attempt was (a) ill-advised and (b) >|unnecessary. And that is the right way to do it. Except note that tlmgr is the TeXLive package manager, not the Debian/Ubuntu one. If you have packages installed by the latter, use it to update those packages.
