install.sh not working on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)?
Hi everybody. Is anyone else having problems with recent ConTeXt updates on Linux? Since last month, install.sh isn't doing anything. However, when I go to Pragma ADE's website, I can download newer releases and they work fine (e.g. --permitloadlib works now). I'm not so picky about manual downloads, but I think install.sh is (or was) quite better. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, in case it helps. Thank you very much. Regards, Jairo :)

yes I had a similar experience. After downloading a fresh install.sh new updates became available again. (Pop!OS 20.10) .F

Hi Jairo and Floris, I reported a similar issue some days ago. I think I have solved it (no extensive checking yet) by deleting the three texmf*.tma files on the tex/ directory. If you still have a copy of your older installation, you may try this (but please make a backup of the older installation first). Just in case it might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

The deleting of those tma files is part of my update script already. But at that moment starting with a fresh empty context folder seemed to work only. No issues as yet. .F
