The TeXLive Package Manager, i.e. tlmgr(1), is not shipped with this 
TeXLive package, as 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.

The *proper* way to upgrade the TeXLive Slackware package (or any 
part of it) is through your Slackware's package manager.  If you 
elect to try tlmgr(1), and it doesn't work at all, or worse, it messes 
up part of your TeXLive installation, too bad.  On the other hand,
if you are able to document exactly what we need to do in order to
make it:
  1) work
  2) put updates and such in a user-specific directory, i.e.
     *not* alter/replace system package contents
then we would love to hear from you.  :-)
