Bug description
** THIS MIGHT BE RELATED TO ISSUE:** https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/909#issue-1238560733
When attempting to preview or render a QMD file with a PDF format output, quarto attempts to update packages in TeX Live and fails to do it. The following is a minimal example that gives the error
I have checked with RStudio and I receive the same error (with a different QMD file of course). This is a bug on quarto

- tlmgr using installation: /usr/local/texlive/2022
- TeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive) version 2022
tlmgr has been updated by using the utility provided by MacTeX 2022: TeX Live Utility.app, all packages has been updated.
The same behavior appear is instead of having the full MacTeX 2022 distribution (TeX Live) I have the tinyTeX.
Quarto has been installed locally and globally and in both cases the result is the same
To preview I have attempted to prepend the command with sudo but the result is the same. All of these has been run in a terminal. Finally I am attaching the output run with the --verbose option

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with minimaltest.qmd using quarto preview minimaltest.qmd --verbose, then inspect the quarto check and quarto tools check output alongside the tlmgr and TeX Live details. Done means the PDF preview completes without the automatic package-installation failure, while HTML preview remains working.
