I upgraded my system yesterday, and according to the news site (which I always check first) there have been substantial changes to the packaging of TeX Live. In particular, with its own package manager tlmgr. Instructions are given at Arch Linux TeX Live how to fix some of the issues with tlmgr, which I've followed.
Attempts to install a style file, however, result in an error:
$ tlmgr install lmodern.sty
/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl: config.guess script does not exist, goodbye: /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/../../tlpkg/installer/config.guess at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 321.According to a discussion on StackExchange, an error like this indicates that the system is broken.
How can I fix it? The style file lmodern.sty now exists in the package texlive-core, which I don't want to install, as it has been replaced with texlive-basic (which I have installed). Anyway, any advice would be welcome. This is one of these probably unavoidable issues which can happen with changes such as this. In the meantime, I can install such files by hand. But it would be very nice to have tlmgr working as it should,
Many thanks indeed,
Alasdair

That package has been removed.
$ pkgfile lmodern.sty
extra/texlive-fontsrecommendedThe wiki also notes
texlive-fontsrecommended contains essential fonts (including the default Latin Modern)
so I would install that.
I don't know about tlmgr and I don't use texlive anymore. texlive-basic does provide a config.guess, but apparently not in the location your (modified) tlmgr expects it. Did you also try before/without applying any fixes to tlmgr? (As there is "factual accuracy disputed" and/or it might be outdated.)
