I've run Colin Percival's binary upgrade scripts on my spare machine.
It worked fine from 6.0 t0 6.1.
For 6.1 to 6.2 the script stops during the
``The following files will be removed ...'' phase.
Exactly same stop for three fresh trials which look alright up to the stop.

What could be the reason?
Thanks,

Is there nothing I could do to find out the reason for this stop ?
