Hello all,

I have a problem updating my MikTeX-Installation. For the update process 
I use a local repository I had synchronized with the MikTeX package 
folder at ftp.ctan.org/

I tried to update a working full MikTeX installation (which says in tex 
log files being pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9) 
(preloaded format=latex 2011.6.12)) which I got by update after 
synchronization on 2011-07-13.

The latest "Update (Admin)" offered today the removing of two files and 
the installation of some selected miktex-packages resulting in the 
MiKTeX Update Wizard Report:

The second installation (which should install all the skipped packages 
from the first one) presented a warning that not all packages were 
tested in total and that I might do the update some days later ...

I skipped this and did the update as usual resulting in ...

After I had deleted koma-moderncvclassic.tar.lzma (which was of the same 
date as on ftp.ctan.org (2011-05-29)) from my repository I tried the 3rd 
updating getting:

Error: The operation could not be completed because a required file does 
not exist.

So I restored my MikTex backup, which is working as expected.


What can I do to get an uptodate MikTeX installation?

Thanks in advance.
