[tex-live] tl2010: no backup for auto-removed pkgs

[Harald Koenig]

Hi,

I just run "tlmgr update --all" on my pristine tl2010 installation with backups enabled:

  $ tlmgr option | grep backup
  Number of backups to keep (autobackup): 1
  Directory for backups (backupdir): tlpkg/backups

  $ tlmgr: package repository /media/TEXLIVE/2010/tug.org/texlive/tlnet
  tlmgr: saving backups to /usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/backups
  [1/127] auto-remove: antp
  [2/127] auto-remove: biblatex-chicago-notes-df
  [3/127, ??:??/??:??] update: FAQ-en [4999k] (17760 -> 19623) ... done
  [4/127, 00:10/04:50] update: Type1fonts [516k] (15878 -> 19603) ... done
  ...

and now I notice that there are no backup files for antp and biblatex-chicago-notes-df :-(

  $ ll /usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/backups/antp*
  ls: cannot access /usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/backups/antp*: No such file or directory
  $ ll /usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/backups/biblatex-chicago-notes-df*
  ls: cannot access /usr/local/texlive/2010/tlpkg/backups/biblatex-chicago-notes-df*: No such file or directory

IMHO the backup should contain those deleted packages too.
