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

which shared library might be meant?
