It got corrupted: half file size, half lines etc. Also tlmgr info claimed
that lower half of the package list is not installed.

Uploading this file from mac remedied situation:
 tlmgr info lists all items (except specific for other platforms) as
installed
tlmgr update works


So (keeping fingers crossed)  things seem to be fixed
