Yes, it looks like it. Thanks for digging into it.

However, your patch changes the logic of package calculation
completely, so I'm not going to apply it without discussion with
Norbert and others. I committed the following patch instead. Could you
grab tlmgr.pl from svn and check if it fixes the problem?

Thanks,

BTW, you put a lot of trust in our pretest version to run updates
completely unattended like that.
