I have no wish to migrate to TeX Live 2011 at this stage
(I prefer to wait until its end-of-life freeze), but do
wish to ensure that my TeX Live 2010 installation is up-to-date
(w.r.t. its freeze release, that is).
I launch TLMGR, and select "Update all installed";
it tells me :
0010 Updates for the tlmgr are present
Installation and updates won't work without being forced
Please select "Update all installed" after dismissing this dialogue
The program will terminate after the upgrade
Then you can restart the program for further updates
At least 406 further updates are available after tlmgr has been updated
Please wait a bit after the program has terminated so that the update can be completed
[OK]
I press [OK]
it tells me
Critical updates have been installed
Program will terminate now
Please restart if necessary
[OK]
I press OK
Two red bits of text disappear (texlive.infra and tlperl.win32)
The program disappears.
I re-launch TLMGR
I select "Update all installed"
it tells me :
GOTO 0010.
