[Sebastian Steinbeißer]

Hallo developers and testers,

I'm experiencing problems running tlmgr, pretest 2016. The console 
output is the following:

Ananas Desktop # tlmgr update --self
Unknown directive ...containerchecksum

, please fix it! at /usr/local/texlive/2016/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPOBJ.pm line
