Hi Ulrike,

That is a tricky one ...

> TLPDB::_install_data: untar failed for

> tlmgr.pl: Installation of new version of hyperref failed, trying to

File was open, so untar failed. Up to here all is fine.

Now we try to unpack the safety backup we made before the upgrade.
But unpacking that again fails because well, the pdf is still open in acroread.

And because that failed ...
> Cannot open tlpobj file:
> C:/texlive/2022/tlpkg/tlpobj/hyperref.tlpobj at
> C:/texlive/2022/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPOBJ.pm line 72.

And after that, the package is removed but a collection depends on it, from
which tlmgr deduces that the package was forcibly removed.

I don't see a good option ... maybe tar has a way to ignore errors like
that on windows. I need to investigate what can be done here.

Best

Norbert
