I assume this will not occur once TeXLive 2018 is released and the final setup of the repositories are complete; i.e., this is just growing pains.

Howdy,

It doesn't crash but puts up a dialog that gives you the choice of crash or ... (this is after complaining that the texlive.infra update is the same as already there).

I don't press `crash' and it continues and allows me to quit. After restarting it goes on to load the package updates and all is well.

Good Luck,
