After the confusion with the self-update the update worked fine, but
gpg isn't used (windows 7):


F:\Install\TeXLive\2016>tlmgr -v update --list
D:tlmgr:main: ::tldownload_server defined
Setting up gpg did not succeed!
D:persistent connection set up, trying to get

lpretest/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512 (for
C:\Users\Nililand\AppData\Local\Temp\Z
LaM9xgmZ)
D:downloading file via persistent connection succeeded
D:gpg prog not defined, no checking of signatures
D:checksum of local copy identical with remote hash
tlmgr.pl: package repository
