===============================================================================
tlmgr itself needs to be updated.
Please do this via either
  tlmgr update --self
or by getting the latest updater for Unix-ish systems:
  https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh
and/or Windows systems:
  https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.exe
Then continue with other updates as usual.

tlmgr: Terminating; please see warning above!

Thanks for the report. This happens frequently and matters for users who build their own images based. However, running the suggested tlmgr update --self when building a derived image should be enough to fix this.

It would certainly be nice if this wasn't necessary. However, given that the fix is simple, and rebuilding the images each time tlmgr is updated does not seem worth the effort, we asks users to accept this inconvenience and to work around it as described.

If you think this could be documented better, please let us know. PRs with the suggested documentation changes are especially welcome.
