Description
Hi,
I tried to add all package to my version of overleaf using :
docker exec sharelatex tlmgr install scheme-full
I have this error
tlmgr: Local TeX Live (2024) is older than remote repository (2025).
Cross release updates are only supported with
update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
See https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.
I tried to update the tlmgr using
docker exec sharelatex wget "https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh"
docker exec sharelatex sh update-tlmgr-latest.sh
But everything is uptdate in the 2024 folder. And even if updated I still have the error saying I have the 2024 version. Do you have any solution?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the docker exec sharelatex tlmgr install scheme-full command in the ShareLaTeX container and inspect the 2024 TeX Live installation. Compare the container's tlmgr location and update script behavior with the TeX Live upgrade guidance linked in the issue. Done means documenting or verifying a working path for resolving the 2024-versus-2025 repository error.
