It seems "tlmgr conf" does not work properly when the configuration
file that tlmgr tries to update has line continuation.
Not a surprise, but thanks for the bug report.
Then you will expect something like:
Yes. I could imagine collapsing the value so that the result has no
continuations. I could also imagine simply aborting with "can't handle
values with continuations, sorry". (Clearly the current behavior is
wrong.) Norbert? (The code in TLConfFile.pm makes me dizzy ...)
Thanks again,
Karl
