Hmm, strange, I didn't see this message ..., in my case asciichart was
removed and ascii-chart installed, without any warning.
Anyway... thanks for reporting.. although it puzzles me a bit. In the
code of tlmgr that leads up to the above error message there I have written:
# we checked already that this package is present!
# but our checks seem to be wrong, no idea why
# ahhh, it seems that it can happen due to a stupid incident, a bug
# on the server:
# - remove a package from a collection
# - at the same time increase its version number
# then what happens is:
# - first the package is removed (auto-remove!)
# - then it is tried to be updated here, which is not working!
# report that and ask for report
(I like to write my comments in a bit peculiar way)
But it does *NOT* explain why asciichart was tried to be updated...
Best wishes
Norbert
