After updating to Yosemite over Mavericks I tried to update MacTex 2014. I updated Tex Live Utility to the latest version 1.19 as recommended elsewhere on this list, but found that the list of available packages for update failed to populate.
I think this is a problem with MacTex 2014, specifically the (lack of some) default subdirectories in /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/, in particular the subdirectory <backups> needs to be created.
I eventually discovered this from the informative log file.
There were two problems:
> Failed executing `/usr/texbin/tlmgr --machine-readable --repository http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/ update --list --all` (error 1) tlmgr: package repository http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/

> tlmgr itself needs to be updated.

> tlmgr update --self
> ..
This command would not work until I created /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups
> Then continue with other updates as usual.

> tlmgr: backupdir as set in tlpdb /usr/local/texlive/2014/tlpkg/backups is not a directory. Exiting.
Then Tex Live Utility worked fine
