TeXLive update error: tlmgr: Remote repository is newer than local (2017 < 2018)












1














I am having a problem configuring the automatic update for the TeXLive
even though I am pretty sure that I downladed the 2018 TeXLive version
I get is this error



$ ls -l /usr/local/texlive$ sudo tlmgr update --self --all
[sudo] Passwort :

tlmgr: Remote repository is newer than local (2017 < 2018)
Cross release updates are only supported with
update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update

looking for my TexLive version it shows that it is the 2018 version
