[O] Tex Live Utility Update list failed on MacTex 2014 on Yosemite even after updating to latest TLU version 1.19 (solved TLU after reading the Log file - absent subdirectory /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups) |

After updating to Yosemite over Mavericks I tried to update MacTex 2014. I
updated Tex Live Utility to the latest version 1.19 as recommended elsewhere on
this list, but found that the list of available packages for update failed to
populate.
I think this is a problem with MacTex 2014, specifically the (lack of some)
default subdirectories in /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/, in particular the
subdirectory <backups> needs to be created.
I eventually discovered this from the informative log file.
There were two problems:
> Failed executing `/usr/texbin/tlmgr --machine-readable --repository
> http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/ update --list
> --all` (error 1) tlmgr: package repository
> http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/
> ===============================================================================
> tlmgr itself needs to be updated.
> Please do this via either
> tlmgr update --self
> ..
This command would not work until I created
/usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups
> Then continue with other updates as usual.
> ===============================================================================
> tlmgr: backupdir as set in tlpdb /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups is
> not a directory. Exiting.
Then Tex Live Utility worked fine
