Hi Johannes,

I commited the following changes, it will probably included in
tomorrow's rebuild. If you want you can test it by simply adding this
one line.
--- a/Master/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
+++ b/Master/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl
@@ -3518,6 +3518,8 @@ sub action_update {
   if (!win32() && $restart_tlmgr && !$opts{"dry-run"} && !$opts{"list"}) {
     info ("Restarting tlmgr to complete update ...\n");
     debug("restarting tlmgr @::SAVEDARGV\n");
+    # cleanup temp files before re-exec-ing tlmgr
+    File::Temp::cleanup();
     exec("tlmgr", @::SAVEDARGV);
     # we need warn here, otherwise perl gives warnings!
     warn ("$prg: cannot restart tlmgr, please retry update\n");

All the best

Norbert
