Re: [Bug 1242914] Re: tlmgr unable to set up TLPDB
Seems as if the system gets confused between the system installed tlmgr and the vanila tlmgr. In your email I din't see any confusion, solely a manner of the PATH environment variable. i would suggest to make a solution which can update the PATH variables so this problems is avoided. This is your responsability if you have installed a vanilla TL, nothing the distribution can do for you. I suggest editing your .profile.

@NorbertPreining: Ok, that's reasonable enough (though not clear from previous remarks; certainly, I see no reason to close this bug considering it is still present in Ubuntu). If it helps anyone, this issue affected me on a machine which shouldn't have had `texlive-base' installed; something in the process of upgrading Ubuntu to 13.10 (from 13.04) created another instance of `tlmgr' in addition to the one present from a vanilla installation of texlive 2012.
