Hi Philip,

first of all, do you have
	texlive-docindex
installed?

If not, please install it, it contains the taxonomy file:
	texmf/scripts/texlive/var/texcatalogue.keywords

Concerning tlmgr gui and updates:

If there is an update available (after you have loaded the remote
repository's tlpdb), there will be a big red warning and you will
only see the texlive.infra package to be updated. So no need to
worry more.

Yeah, and copying from About box does not work, that is Tk, sorry.

Finally: your tlmgr is uptodate, what seems is that you don't have
	texlive-docindex
installed.

Best wishes

Norbert
