I've downloaded the ISO image and installed it on SUSE tumbleweed (rolling release).
installation went smooth (~21min on SSD).


then I've checked for updates:

$ tlmgr update --list
tlmgr: package repository https://ftp.fau.de/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr: would save backups to /42.2/usr/local/texlive/2021/tlpkg/backups
update:   beebe              [855k]: local:    58605, source:    58697
update:   luatex            [1849k]: local:    58499, source:    58702
update:   texlive-msg-translations [139k]: local:    58681, source:    58693
update:   xcharter          [2475k]: local:    57009, source:    58704

but (first) update only installed one pkg texlive-msg-translations with no "please run again" hint or similar. why???

$ tlmgr update --all

only a 2nd "update --all" run finally installed the remaining packagesL

is this new to tlmgr 2021 ?
I think there should at least be a warning message "there are more package to update, pls run again"
or better install all packages in one run...


next test will be on Ubuntu 20.04...
