Hmm, it seems to be some sort of race condition.
It is caused by the save function in TLPDB, dying on the rename.
It might be the AV that has grabbed and locked the texlive.tlpdb.tmp while we are attempting to rename it.
It runs a bit more smoothly if we change the die to warn in that save function.
Though of course then the resulting texlive.tlpdb in the end will not be correct.

We keep getting a permission denied on renaming
texlive.tlpdb.tmp
to
texlive.tlpdb
We cannot disable AV (company policy does not allow us). The AV log does not show any recent blocking, so AV might not be relevant to this.
My test right now (in a VM) got to ~150 pkgs installed before I got this error. Yesterday on a real PC we got to ~1500 pkgs installed twice.
Any suggestions?
