Subject: Tex Live Utility Update list failed on MacTex 2014 on Yosemite even
 after updating to latest TLU version 1.19 (solved TLU after reading the Log
 file - absent subdirectory /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups)

After updating to Yosemite over Mavericks I tried to update MacTex 2014. =
 I updated Tex Live Utility to the latest version 1.19 as recommended =
elsewhere on this list, but found that the list of available packages =
for update failed to populate.

I think this is a problem with MacTex 2014, specifically the (lack of =
some) default subdirectories in  /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/, in =
particular the subdirectory <backups> needs to be created.=20
I eventually discovered this from the informative log file. =20

There were two problems:
> Failed executing `/usr/texbin/tlmgr --machine-readable --repository =
http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/ update --list =
--all` (error 1) tlmgr: package repository =
http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/

This command would not work until I created =
/usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups

> Then continue with other updates as usual.

/usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups is not a directory. Exiting.

Then Tex Live Utility worked fine=
