[tex-live] Error when trying to use TeX Live's 2015 tlmgr on FreeBSD 9.3

[Conny Andersson]

Hi,

The last six years I have installed TeX Live from the DVD and thereafter
used tlmgr to manage, update and uninstall the TeX Live software without
any problems at all. During these six years my operating system has
always been different versions of FreeBSD.

I got the TeX Collection 2015 DVD on August 28 and uninstalled TeX Live
2014 with tlmgr and reinstalled TeX Live 2015. This was done on
my workstation. After some days i tried to: tlmgr update --all and got
this error message:

Can't locate TeXLive/TLConfig.pm in @INC (you may need to install the 
TeXLive::TLConfig module) (@INC contains: /usr/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive

My path to the tlmgr.pl is: 
/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive

The same error occurred also on this laptop on which I have installed
TeX Live 2015 via install-tl-unx.tar.gz from the Internet. Both of my
computers runs FreeBSD 9.3 and both get the same error message when
trying to use the tlmgr. (All options I give tlmgr gives the same 
error about line 92.) All the other TeX software works fine, via
softlinks in /usr/local/bin to the actual binaries like xelatex, [XeTeX
3.14159265-2.6-0.99992 (TeX Live 2015)].

Thank you in advance for helping me,
Best Regards,

Conny
