Describe the bug
Using TeX Live 2019 on NixOS 20.03, I noticed that grffile package is very outdated: the current version is v2.1 2019-11-11, but on my system i have v1.18 2017-06-30. This can cause issues.
I wonder if there are more outdated TeX Live packages.
To Reproduce
Configure and install TeX Live so that grffile be included (collection-latexrecommended):
# file: ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix
{
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
myTexLive = pkgs.texlive.combine {
inherit (pkgs.texlive) scheme-basic
collection-latex
collection-latexrecommended;
};
};
}
$ nix-env -iA nixos.myTexLive
Inspect grffile.sty:
$ head -n15 $(kpsewhich grffile.sty)
%%

Expected behavior
A recent version should be installed.
Additional context
The old version of grffile seems to cause bugs with TeX Live 2019.

I'm looking to bump to the tlnet-final snapshot as soon as it is completely frozen. That will be in a few days.
