I hope I do not misunderstand you, but I do not quite agree with this. It might
be so that a straight TeX Live installation ends up in /usr/local but a Fink
packaging of the it should end up somewhere in /sw. I think that if there is an
error, then the package is at error and another location should be selected for
tlmgr and friends.
I am not convinced that it is a good idea to remove tlmgr, as Martin Costabel
suggests, I’ve never used tlmgr as it is non-functional but unless it is broken
beyond repair it should IMHO be repaired. If it is the recommended way of
adding new packages to the TeX installation? Is it deprecated and another
packaging system is taking over?

/sw/share/texmf/web2c/> kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT
/sw/share
/sw/share/texmf/web2c/> kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFCNF
{/sw/bin,/sw,/}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,}/web2c}
~/> find /sw -iname texmf.cnf
/sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/sw/share/texmf-dist/doc/generic/pgf/text-en/texmf.cnf
/sw/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pgfplots/texmf.cnf
/sw/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf
I know of no other texmf.cnf file on my computer, although some stray config
option might still hang around from days gone by so I will not claim I am 100 %
sure, just 97,86 %.
I think that a operational tlmgr should be possible to get by just installing
fink, editing config files to archive that on a system by system basis is …
ridiculous.

I’m sorry, but you lost me there…?
