zlib update faster than texlive: unprotected error in call to Lua API

This is a issue same to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162609

But now it happened again

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (zlib library version does not match - header: 1.2.13, library: 1.3)
Aborted (core dumped)

My solution is go to /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and re-install zlib 1.2.13, but this is not a permanent solution

Please update texlive packages, thanks! I am glad to know what is the update frequency of texlive in archlinux repo, will it be much faster than CTAN (once a year)?

Re: zlib update faster than texlive: unprotected error in call to Lua API

Could you provide some information on how to downgrade zlib along with lib32-zlib? Thanks.

EDIT: NVM I figure that out, just this:

```
sudo pacman -U zlib-1:1.2.13-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst lib32-zlib-1.2.13-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
```

OK I think I have found the version of texlive: https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source/releases

It seems that texlive in archlinux follow the release on github which update mainly once a year with several minor rebuilds.
