You should not need to do this. TeX Live Utility knows about the historic repositories from 2008-2020 and will select the correct one for you.

If this is repeatable, it would help to have the diagnostics for xz etc. while the tree is in a non-functioning state, although there's not much I can do if tlmgr is misbehaving.

thanks,
Adam
