The TeX Live Utility

[John Haggerty]

Hello,

For a couple days, the TeX Live Utility (1.36) on Mac (10.15.4) reports 
"Listing Failed," and the command line gives more information:

I tried a couple of mirrors, waited around, etc.  Turning off 
verification ala

--verify-repo=none

seems to work, but we know that's bad.

BTW, thanks for the wonderful TeX packaging!
