I require management of TeX (TeX Live) for export to PDF (LaTeX). 

The Tex Live manager (tlmgr) displays available fonts, loads and removes fonts and other
packages. 
https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html 


Sure, pdftex (from texlive-latex-extra) enables org-mode export to PDF, however the 
fonts available are opaque within the TexLive environment without tlmgr. 
Navigation of TexLive customizations, set with install-tl are opaque without tlmgr.  


packages for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS can be seen here, 
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=texlive 

using the TexLive installer  install-tl  can be seen here, 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1092/how-to-install-vanilla-texlive-on-debian-or-u
buntu 


In other words, org-mode export to PDF assumes a pdftex, and the tex/texlive/LaTex
environment is up to the user to simply provide a pdftex.
