i've installed Tex Live 2016 using install-tl in order to obtain the latest version, however i have a problem with the tlmgr command. If i start the application with the command tlmgr -gui no installed packages can be seen: the obtained error is

Tk::Error: /usr/bin/tlmgr: open(/usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb) failed: No such file or directory at /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 416.
 TeXLive::TLPDB::from_file at /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 416
 TeXLive::TLPDB::new at /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 146

 main::__ANON__ at /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgrgui.pl line 436

The texlive.tlpdb file is not installed in /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/, but in

/root/texmf/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
/usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb

How can I reconfigure correctly tlmgr in order to take the correct path? Thanks

You can try running:

sudo tlmgr backup --clean --all

    For me, this produces /usr/bin/tlmgr: open(/home/.../texmf/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb) failed: No such file or directory at /usr/share/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 416.
