An error occurred while installing the selected updates.

I am trying to update my late 2012 iMac (Mojave) to Catalina.


The process start and the the following message appears:

"An error occurred while installing the selected updates."

I've installed Catalina updates on other iMacs of the same vintage in recent weeks.


I haven't tried the recovery option yet.


Thanks



iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.14
