[tex-live] Problems on windows 10 since tlmgr infrastructure update of 07/Feb/2019

[Gopalakrishnan, Krishnakumar]

Hi,

Since the tlmgr update of 07/Feb/2019, tlmgr has become unusable on my windows 10 machine (installed on a network-mounted drive). Prior to this, I had no problems with my setup for the last one year.

Here is one of the issues, https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/473822/tlmgr-update-self-fails-with-a-weird-error-message-windows-10?noredirect=1#comment1195235_473822
Wherein the update -self command kept failing.

I gave up and decided to clean up and do a fresh install, which finally succeeded today.

But, I still get the following issues:

$ tlmgr install raleway phonenumbers

tlmgr.pl: verification of checksum for http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet failed: cryptographic signature verification of

After disabling gpg verification, I still get the following error:

Can't spawn "cmd.exe": No error at //icnas1.cc.ic.ac.uk/kg314/texlive/2018/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 2484.



A suspicious thing is, why is tlmgr reporting path separator as /, instead of \ ?

Cheers,
Krishna
