Research direction
Start by locating the Dockerfile that builds the pandoc/extra:debian-latest image and inspect how TeX Live is installed and versioned. Rebuild the image with TeX Live 2026, then run tlmgr update --self in the image to confirm the cross-release error is gone.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
When running tlmgr update --self in pandoc/extra:debian-latest you get an error because there seems to be a new version of tlmgr:
tlmgr: Local TeX Live (2025) is older than remote repository (2026).
Cross release updates are only supported with
update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
See https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.
The update-tlmgr-latest.sh script does not exist in the image and https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html says you should do a fresh install. So I guess the docker images need to be rebuild with the 2026 version.
