I understand the option --gui does not work for tlmgr, but I feel actually nothing works for tlmgr at all (except `tlmgr help`):

$ tlmgr --usermode init-usertree

cannot setup TLPDB in /home/yihui/texmf at /usr/bin/tlmgr line 5308.

$ tlmgr init-usertree

$ tlmgr --usermode check

$ tlmgr --usermode install hyperref

I'm curious if anyone has really succeeded with tlmgr --usermode on Ubuntu 13.10. BTW, the message "running on Debian" is apparently misleading, when I'm running on Ubuntu, despite of its Debian heritage.
