I would like to try a package which seems interesting, but it some dependencies are not satisfied.

Here is my minimal example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pkgloader}
\LoadPackagesNow

\begin{document}
    pckloader trial
\end{document}

And I get the following error: ! LaTeX Error: File 'l3regex.sty' not found.. Therefore, I tried to update my distribution with the linux commands

tlmgr update --self
tlmgr update --all

But the package l3regex is still not foundable. Plus, my computer is not lying since l3regex.sty is not in my folder /texmf-dist/tex/latex/*.

So, is it something normal ? How can I workaround this problem ?

Stand-alone l3regex was folded into the expl3 core some time ago. We've now withdrawn the 'stub' l3regex.sty file, so pkgloader needs to be updated. For the present, you could add

\usepackage{expl3}
\expandafter\def\csname ver@l3regex.sty\endcsname{}

before trying to load pkgloader to 'fool it' into thinking l3regex is loaded as a separate file.
