[tex-live] tlmgr update problem

I installed TeXlive 2018 on Windows 8.1 a few months ago (when it just came
out). I updated the installation a few times since that initial install,
without any problems.
Today I wanted to get the latest files and I did the usual:
tlmgr update --self,
followed by
tlmgr update --all
This is what I get (seems similar to a problem reported on StackExchange
two weeks ago for Windows 10).
[in fact it is the third run of update --all, before it failed for the abnt
and acmart packages, hence the skipping forcibly removed package abnt skipping
forcibly removed package acmart messages]
C:\Users\goossens\goossenswork\lwarp>tlmgr update --all

Cannot open tlpobj file: C:/texlive/2018/tlpkg/tlpobj/alegreya.tlpobj at C:/texl
ive/2018/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPOBJ.pm line 70.
Any hint what the problem could be?
Thanks
*UPDATE:*
After getting the suggestion top try another mirror I trieds to re-install
the package acmart (which was forcibly removed by tlmgr update in my second
try) using a Swiss repository. I still get a similar error message.
C:\Users\goossens\goossenswork\lwarp>tlmgr install acmart

TLPDB::_install_package: untar failedtlmgr.pl: package log updated:
C:/texlive/2018/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log
Is something corrupted on my local installation, and, if yes, how can
I correct the situation?
Thanks for your help.
