+The TeXLive Package Manager, including tlmgr(1), is shipped with this TeXLive
+package, but it's not expected to work properly (if at all). The general
+consensus from the TeXLive users mailing list is that distributions should
+not be shipping tlpkg, and while I certainly agree with that, I elected to
+ship it anyway on the off chance that some users find it desirable.
+
+That being said, the *proper* way to upgrade TeXLive (or any part of it) is
+through your distribution's package manager, which in this case would mean
+that you wait for a new/updated build script from SlackBuilds.org. If you
+elect to try tlmgr(1) and it doesn't work at all, or worse, it messes up
+part of your TeXLive installation, you have only yourself to blame.
