Hello,
since yesterday I observe a strange error with TLMgr on a Windows 10
Notebook:
Whenever I call it, it throws me the error message "Back end gone. Last
command: version" after a while (~ 5-10 seconds after I start it, before
I can do anything.)
I already successfully called tlmgr update --self --all (a self-update
wasn't necessary)
and update-tlmgr-latest.exe
but the error remains.
As far as I can tell, I didn't install any new software lately.
The error isn't hurting me, because it is possible to update from the
command line.
With kind regards
Alois
