I followed the instructions on

> http://www.tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html
During the update of bin-texlive, there was a "Does not look like a tar" 
error message.  At the end of the process tlmgr disappeared from the bin 
directories, although the scripts were present in  
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/scripts/texlive.

What is the best way to recover?

I am testing this at home with a more complete installation than I need 
to be able to advice computer support staff in the Rutgers Math 
Department on installing TeX Live for a large number of users.
