I hope this is a useful place to report an error.
I updated my 2015 version on 20 December 2015 and everything
ran fine. Then I did the same update on 10Jan 2016 and found that
when I used a  TeX script which had an \input eplain in it, I got:

pdftex    bib_all
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015) 
(preloaded format=pdftex)
  restricted \write18 enabled.

==========================
After  running tlmgr restore every thing was normal again.
The eplain_head.tex script referenced above contains:

\input eplain
\beginpackages
   \usepackage{etex}
%  \usepackage{sectsty}
   \usepackage{url}
   \usepackage[usenames]{color}
   \usepackage{graphics}
   \usepackage{graphicx}
   \usepackage{epsfig,color}   % added 20 March 2014
\endpackages
\enablehyperlinks
\hlopts{colormodel=,color=blue}
\hldestopts[eq]{raise=1.7\normalbaselineskip}
\ifpdf
   \hlopts{bwidth=0}
% \DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{*}
\fi
\ifundefined{nofrench}
\frenchspacing
\fi
=================================
And, the bib_all.tex file starts with:(but this code beyond the first 
line is not reached)
\input eplain
\beginpackages
   \usepackage{etex}
%  \usepackage{sectsty}
   \usepackage{url}
   \usepackage[usenames]{color}
   \usepackage{graphics}
   \usepackage{graphicx}
   \usepackage{epsfig,color}   % added 20 March 2014
\endpackages
\enablehyperlinks
\hlopts{colormodel=,color=blue}
\hldestopts[eq]{raise=1.7\normalbaselineskip}
\ifpdf
   \hlopts{bwidth=0}
% \DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{*}
\fi
\ifundefined{nofrench}
\frenchspacing
\fi
==============================================
I hope that this problem can be resolved.
