pandoc does not call tlmgr, that I am quite sure. What I guess is that
it is either the nvim-r plugin that does this. But checking out the
nvim-r repo from https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R I don't see tlmgr 
mentioned.

So maybe it is indirectly called via some other R function .. hard to
say. In any case, *this*should*not*be*done*.

It would be nice to find out who actually called tlmgr. If you could
manage to find this it would help a lot. Thanks
