[tex-live] Cannot contact mirror.ctan.org

[Robert Alessi]

Yes. Actually you may either type:

--> LANG=C tlmgr update --all

on a single line, or

--> LANG=C

then

--> tlmgr update --all

on two separate lines, at your convenience. Does this workaround work
on your system? I'm pretty sure it does.

Best,

Robert
