The <application>biber</application> source tarball shown above
downloads with the correct name, biber-&biber-version;.tar.gz,
if using a browser such as Firefox. If you prefer to use a command line
program such as wget, you normally would obtain
v&biber-version;.tar.gz. To obtain this package with the proper
filename, run:
<screen><userinput>wget -c &biber-download-http; \

If you have updated to a new release of texlive-source, biber and its
perl dependencies are still in present in <filename

biblatex installs in <filename

be reinstalled.
