Oh, yes, it is an upgrade issue that affects everybody who has
experimental packages installed or in state "rc". But that is intended,
as the message implies:
,----
| Upgrade from experimental versions are not supported!
| Please purge all texlive packages before installation.

However, this bug report was indeed helpful and has revealed a couple
of other issues, most of which have already been resolved in our SVN
repository. Norbert, will you close this bug report in the changelog,
or should we close it manually and let the side effects be side effects?
