I'm not able to reproduce the issue. It was very likely a network issue or cached old catalog.xml on the IDE side.
Comment 3 enrichicco 2011-03-23 14:08:34 UTC 
Sorry pgebauer, 
maybe my report lacks some essential parts (i just cut and pasted the info on the errors popup  from update/reactivate modules applet).
However, it seems a problem of permissions on files.
I completely reinstalled netbeans, this time on my personal account (the former installation was by the root user, available to anyone on my computer).

This solved the issue (obviously I had to change all default install locations to folders owned by me)

It looks a bit strange that the problem arose not at the first update, but after several ones... 
may be (just guessing...) it could depend on the way some (updated) components are placed in the filesystem (some are in the personal area, some in the default install locations, which are owned mainly by root)

Tell me if you need more informations, I'll try to help, for what I can (I completely scratched the former installation).

regards
Enrico
