Have you (or your IT techie) installed TeXLive2023 on all hosts? If not, I
recommend that you have that done, especially directly from the TUG (TeX
Users Group) web site <https://tug.org/texlive/>. It has explicit
instructions for downloading and installing from the Web and that way all
hosts have the same, and most current, installation. That should resolve any
issues.

He can also periodically update the installation from the TUG web site with
a shell script in each host's /etc/cron.weekly (or the Debian equivalent).
Here (on Slackware) my script, update-tlmgr.sh, contains:
cd /usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux/
./tlmgr update --self --all
./fmtutil-sys --sys -all
cd

This keeps the installation current.

Regards,

Rich
