Hi all,

I was trying to update the pretest texlive 2009 distribution using TeX  
Live Utility v 0.82
and I got this error message

2009-10-31 15:40:15 +0100 Notice -[TLMOperation main][5138]	Standard  
error from `/usr/texbin/tlmgr --machine-readable --repository http://texlive.guiling.fr 
  update --list`
tlmgr: package repository http://texlive.guiling.fr
/usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/installer/xz/xzdec.universal-darwin:

I got the same error using directly the tlmgr command on the shell

sh-3.2# tlmgr update --self
tlmgr: package repository http://texlive.guiling.fr
/usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/installer/xz/xzdec.universal-darwin:

On my linux box the update was smooth.

Do you have any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance.
	Best regards
		Alessandro
