Hi,

Today's update of texlive2009 pretest has deleted some locally
installed packages on my system.
It seems to be caused by the revision 15125 of tlmgr.pl committed yesterday.
I am not sure if the following patch is the correct one.  After this
patch, however,
tlmgr does not attempt any more to remove locally installed packages.
