Thank you for your help, tlmgr is working again. 

A little additional request: I had a problem to find out, which package
I had to reinstall; I finally managed that by downloading the file from
the svn repository (is that the intended way?).

So my question: in rpm-based distributions I use the command
rpm -qf <file>
to find the package, which <file> belongs to. Is something like that
possible, or intended to implement?

Happy TeXing
