THis is *strange* because on Linux (here on my system) it works
without a problem, but warns that it cannot write trustdb. I did add
some print statements and get the folloiwng (with a user that does not
have write access to the installation):

$ tlmgr update --list
DEBUG::: returning 0 gpg: Signature made Thu 28 Apr 2016 10:17:43 AM JST using RSA key ID 19438C70
gpg: NOTE: trustdb not writable
gpg: Good signature from "TeX Live Distribution <tex-live at tug.org>"
!
tlmgr: package repository /var/www/norbert/tlpretest (verified)


So I am a bit surprised ....

Can you try with exporting the folliwng environment variables before
running tlmgr update --list:

	TL_GNUPGARGS="--no-secmem-warning --no-permission-warning --lock-never"
	export TL_GNUPGARGS
followed by
	tlmgr update --list

Does that fix the problem for you?
