That is not the problem! The problem is why I have with macTeX
a correct setting:
iMac:Intro4 voss$ tlmgr platform list
tlmgr: package repository
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/tex/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
Available platforms:
[...]
(i) universal-darwin
[...]
but on another machine (also BiGSur) with the installation of texlive not??
There is no (i) in the output. I'll try to reinstall TeXLive and see
what happens.
I have TL2021 running since it was published, but never realized this
problem,
because binaries are updated not so often.
