Dear all,

when I execute update-tlmgr-latest.sh I get the message

alex at alex-ThinkPad-P15v-Gen-1:~/Downloads$ ./update-tlmgr-latest.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing TeX Live Manager Updater  100%
./runme.sh: Cannot find TeX Live root using kpsewhich 
--var-value=SELFAUTOPARENT.
./runme.sh: (no tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb and/or tlpkg/tlpobj/.)
./runme.sh: Please set your PATH as needed, otherwise it's hopeless.

When I check the PATH (set in .bashrc) I find
alex at alex-ThinkPad-P15v-Gen-1:~$ $PATH
bash: 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/share/texlive/tlpkg:/usr/share/texlive/:/usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/:

Any ideas how to make the update work?

greetings alex
