That's where I got the error, on a headless server. As this is very
unusual, and people working on a headless server know what to do with
this error. So, issue invalid :)

Yes, as tlmgr told that this was failing. But is there something like

tlmgr update --continue

which continues the previous run of tlmgr at the point of failure? From
the output I only know the failing command, but not any others that
would have been run by tlmgr if the one would have not failed.
