Description

Package: texlive - 2023 version
Detail: Our texlive Latex distro is well out of date.
Ticket/requester: James Legg (ARC) I have noticed that at least some packages cannot be downloaded from the latex repo CTAN, in user mode, due to version incompatibility. This comes out of ticket IN05858284 where I installed texlive 2023 in the user's space.
Cluster: Myriad and others
