I've noticed that when a user changes their avatar from one of the avatars in avatar_select to an uploaded image, drupal attempts to delete the avatar_select image.
To reproduce this:
1. Edit the profile and select one of the avatars available in the system and submit the avatar change.
2. Now select an avatar image from the desktop (download one of the attached images). Submit the change.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem as described above. Just upgraded to the latest dev version and it's still having this issue. It deletes the avatar when you change from an avatar to your own uploaded image. Please help!

Are you using the unique_avatar module? I investigated a problem with this characteristic and found that the unique_avatar module was deleting avatars from the avatar_selection avatar pool when a user chose to upload a picture.

I posted a patch to unique_avatar to avoid this behavior at #354842: Can delete pictures which are not user pictures.

Hope that helps,
-Randy

I can't reproduce this issue. It could be caused by another module as rfay suggested. Are you using the 'unique avatar' module?

Cheers,
Stella
