Thanks again, Kornel,

this is what I got>>>

which kpsewhich tlmgr
/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/kpsewhich
/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr

wolfgang at Fuji:~/Dokumente/PUBLIKATIONEN-EIGENE/A-SP-2022$ tlmgr update 
--repository ctan --all --reinstall-forcibly-removed

Could not determine directory of tlmgr executable, maybe shared library 
woes?

Check for error messages above at 
/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr line 74.

 >>>> it says:
   if (! $Master) {
     die ("Could not determine directory of tlmgr executable, "
          . "maybe shared library woes?\nCheck for error messages above");
   }

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr line 83.

 >>>> it says

}
