No drama whatsoever for 10 years or so when downloading from TUG and upgrading (annually). But then I have a shell script to do this for me.

Never mind that I don't know what upstream tex is nor package installed tex. el On 2021-01-05 18:56 , Steve Litt wrote: > On Mon, 4 Jan 2021 13:43:26 +0200 > Dr Eberhard W Lisse <nos...@lisse.na> wrote: > >> Heba, >> >> download BasicTeX from the MacTex site.
