Howdy,

First, there is a new validity check for the download for tlmgr in TeX Live 2016 so TLU needs to be updated. There is a 1.24b3 (yes, it's a beta --- this is testing season) at <https://github.com/amaxwell/tlutility/releases>. I have no problems using it so far.

Second, I'm not sure even that will fix it for the first texlive.infra update. If you still have a problem with texlive.infra installation this first time around use the command

sudo tlmgr update --self

in Terminal. Then try using the new TLU and it should now work fine from then on, At least it has for me so far.

Good Luck,
