There is an updated pull request by fosslinux against master on the void-packages repository

https://github.com/fosslinux/void-packages tlpdb-new
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27653

texlive: fix tlmgr.
This PR adds a package texlive-tlpdb that is in the same vein as the foomatic-db* family, where there is no checksum as it packages a volatile database updated roughly daily that should be bumped regularly to ensure operation of tlmgr.

tlmgr requires the use of /usr/share/texmf-dist/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb to
work correctly. We don't distribute this currently, but now we do, in
the package texlive-tlpdb. It is split out because it is very volatile
and we don't want to have to continously bump the full texlive package.

This finally! makes tlmgr work.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27653.patch is attached
