In which case, which one? I typically install texlive-full (Debian 9), but don't use tlmgr on it. If you want newer packages best download and install it from texlive.net to a separate location (e.g. /opt/texlive/$YEAR). Are you sure you don't have pdftex installed already? Is your Ubuntu an =E2=80=9Cupdate=E2=80=9D installation that may have gone = wrong? Or does Ubuntu offer several tex/latex distributions? I think most people nowadays use the texlive distribution.
