everysel is obsolete:

   https://ctan.org/pkg/everysel?lang=en

It looks like the ragged2e maintainer removed the dependency on everysel just 
yesterday and is preparing an upload to CTAN:

   https://gitlab.com/TeXhackse/ragged2e

I'll try to remember to update texlive-collection-latexrecommended when the new 
ragged2e makes it into TeX Live.

[Note to self: This is why it's a bad idea to update the TeX Live collections 
between the official annual releases.]
