Yes, it's Bash; I mentioned Perl and GhostScript as they are dependencies of the |

script. |

This is a known issue with some of the language packages hard-blocking newer |
| 15 |
versions of the base TeXLive packages, as a new release of the base doesn't |
| 16 |
necessarily mandate a new release of all the subsidiary packages [1]. For a |
| 17 |
number of years, I (uses TeX every day) just used the standalone installer |
| 18 |
provided by TUG.org, as the blocking used to be much harder to resolve. |
