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 “update” installation that may have gone wrong?  Or
does Ubuntu offer several tex/latex distributions?  I think most people
nowadays use the texlive distribution.

Best regards
Robert
