Using texlive GUI fails and resorting to terminal gives this:

On OSX 10.14.6 we fined: $ tar --version bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3

Thanks for the report. I've sent this to the TeX Live email list, as there's nothing I can do about it. As a workaround, you can manually select all packages except noto for update in TeX Live Utility.
