[OS X TeX] TLU critical update failure

["M. Tamer Özsu"]

Just to report that this may fail as well sometimes. For me it fails with the message:

/Library/TeX/texbin/tlmgr: signature verification error of /tmp/bBHvf_QC2t/dQeLPBF1xF from https://ca.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb: cryptographic signature verification of
  /tmp/bBHvf_QC2t/bW_Xpmxcme
against
  https://ca.mirrors.cicku.me/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512.asc
failed. Output was:
gpg: Signature made Sun 19 Nov 19:45:57 2023 EST using RSA key ID 19438C70
gpg: BAD signature from "TeX Live Distribution <tex-live at tug.org>"

Please try from a different mirror and/or wait a few minutes
and try again; usually this is because of transient updates.
If problems persist, feel free to report to texlive at tug.org.
