Bug#829190: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl: tlmgr install fails: Unknown directive ...containerchecksum ...

[Johannes Ranke <jranke@uni-bremen.de>]

Package: texlive-base
Version: 2014.20141024-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl

Dear Maintainer,

I would like to install the most recent version of the metropolis
package on Debian stable. So I did

  tlmgr init-usertree

which created a fresh user tree under ~/texmf, but then

  tlmgr install metropolis

gives me

  (running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
  Unknown directive ...containerchecksum

  , please fix it! at /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPOBJ.pm line
  210, <$retfh> line 5579.

I had a look at the file TLPOBJ.pm but am not able to see what is going
wrong.

Thanks,

Johannes
