TinyTex version error

[arnold-c]

I'm trying to use the Quarto GitHub Action to render and publish a book in both the PDF and HTML format, but unfortunately it is producing the following error when trying to render the PDF output.

ERROR: Your TexLive version is not updated enough to connect to the remote repository and download packages. Please update your installation of TexLive or TinyTex.

Underlying message: Local TeX Live (2022) is older than remote repository (2023).

I have tried a number of different things to update the CTAN repository manually, using a different pdf-engine, etc, but unfortunately none of them seem to work.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the report. Can you point us to a repo/workflow log so we can take a look at it? Thanks.

Thanks for such a quick response @cscheid.

The issue is coming up in this repo

@arnold-c We're tracking here https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/4906

I believe the issue is that texlive's servers no longer support old texlive versions calling them, and the texlive installers we use are still carrying the 2022 version. @cderv will be able to confirm, but unfortunately I think we're blocked until this is fixed.

Hello,

TinyTeX has been released for TeX Live 2023 today https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/releases/tag/v2023.03.21

So this should be solved now as it will install the latest build which support TeX Live 2023 mirrors.

Same issue each year, and we have a few hours or days delay. Sorry for the trouble.
