tlmgr fails to update.

Hi,
TeX Live in a Windows 10 PC.
The "TeX Live Shell" says "TL Manager ... Needs updating" After the repository had been connected the tlmgr Update button was selected. A Windows command window opens and, after a short while it stops being with an error message.

So, I moved to the ...\2024\bin ...

Thank you for the lists of obsolete packages as well as the l2tabu (good to train my rusty German)

I add a small modification of the table. After all it had three columns of numbers two of which shall be set in the same way.

Best regards,

\newcommand. Cannot create macros called \x1 and \x2

Using may questions, I am unable to get some help from Google. Unfortunately The TeXBook's chapter 20---with all those bends and double-bends---is ...
