I don't pass tlmgr error messages on to the user, since they're frequently cryptic or some subprocess (e.g., wget or updmap) that failed, and I can't reasonably parse all tlmgr output or rely on it to stay the same. It also can't be localized, so I use all of my own alerts and just handle common cases.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Errors happen pretty rarely, so it's not a big deal. Karl and I talked about the possibility of formalizing tlmgr exit codes at TUG several years ago so I could pass on error messages more reliably, but I never pursued it.
