thank you for your bug report, was the upgrade still running when you got the issue? can you trigger it again or was it a transitional issue?

[Stanislas Michalak (stanislas-michalak)]

The upgrade didn't still running when I got the issue, It happened after restarting the computer. I can trigger it again in the same way as before.
