That is fixed now with new tlmgr (from tomorrow on only availabe
as usual in tlcritical until we ship it).

The format is now
	[n/N, time/total: tt/TT]
where 
	n ... current number of package being installed/upgraded (increasing)
	N ... total number of packages to be installed
	tt .. time elapsed since start of installation/upgrades
	TT .. estimated total time for all installation/upgrades

I hope that is more intuitive now.

Best wishes

Norbert
