Very unlikely, because tlmgr is not used for processing *any* tex file. tlmgr should not be used and I ship it only in Debian in the restricted USER MODE (see man page), all system wide actions are prohibited because they interfere with the package manager (apt/dpkg) system. What kind of tex document did you try to process?
