[OS X TeX] Tex Live Utility 0.90 (solved)

Dear Vic,

thanks for the messagge. It turned out that I had a permission
problem with the folder usr/local/texlive/2010

I changed them back to the correct state and everythning started to
work fine again. 

This was suggested me by Adam Maxwell; thanks again, Adam. 

After a while I was also able to figure out why the permissions
were uncorrect: several months ago I had a problem with beamer 
(http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/macostex-archives/2010-February/042930.html)
and, before the patch was released via tlmgr, I manually inserted 
the patch on the correct beamer setting file.  At that moment I changed
the permission settings of usr/local/texlive/2010 to be able to insert
the patched file in its correct folder and then I forgot to change back
the permissions...


Best regards, 
	Alessandro
