install.sh not working on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)?

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)

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

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.
