This setup is not correct, as you're mixing monolithic package
(`texlive') and an incomplete modular system (`texlive-*').

According to the manual, if you want to use modular TeX Live, you need
to provide at least a scheme or a collection, such as
`texlive-scheme-basic'.  You should also remove `texlive'.

Does it work if you update your manifest?
