[OS X TeX] TeX Live Utility not updating?

[Paolo Ghirardato]

> OK.  Next step in Terminal, also all on one line:

> /usr/texbin/tlmgr update --list --machine-readable --repository http://ftp.math.purdue.edu/mirrors/ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet

Here is the output (the list of packages is abridged):

Yes, that is correct.

> If that works, pick a single package and try this, e.g.,

Here is the output (beebe was indeed one package to be updated):
