I was running tlmgr in GUI mode:

    232	14:50	tlmgr --repository=http://ftp.ctex.org/mirrors/texlive/tlpretest/ 
  --gui &

I am never sure what I do in tlmgr. The terms used in the GUI can mean  
anything. I am pretty sure that I checked that it had loaded the  
command line repository and then chose in Status "zu aktualisierende".  
(Today I don't see anything.) In shell this text appeared:

	Laden der lokalen TeX Live Datenbank
	Das kann einige Zeit dauern, bitte warten!
	Fertig.
	Laden der TeX Live Datenbank der Installationsquelle
	Das kann einige Zeit dauern, bitte warten!
	Fertig.
	Argument "18835+" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at /usr/local/ 
texlive/2011/texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgrgui.pl line 1900.

I then searched in the list of packages shown for the string or number  
18835. I found it near the end on the tpic2pdftex entries.


/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log contains:

	[Mon Jun 13 16:14:34 2011] update: tpic2pdftex.universal-darwin  
(18387 -> 22925)
	[Mon Jun 13 16:14:51 2011] update: tpic2pdftex.x86_64-darwin (18441 -

No. I updated afterwards from the command line:

	tpic2pdftex.universal-darwin [5k]: local: 18387, source: 22925 (update)
	tpic2pdftex.x86_64-darwin [5k]: local: 18441, source: 22925 (update)
