Unable to update Vyos Rolling image - `File exists: '/mnt/installation/iso_src'`

I’m trying to update the VyOS image on my main box, and it’s giving me an error message about /mnt/installation/iso_src:

vyos@vyos:~$ add system image https://github.com/vyos/vyos-nightly-build/releases/download/2025.05.13-0019-rolling/vyos-2025.05.13-0019-rolling-generic-amd64.iso

The current image is VyOS 1.5 - 2024-06-06 - and there’s nothing new installed, so I assume the above command aborted:

vyos@vyos:~$ show system image
Name                      Default boot    Running
------------------------  --------------  ---------
1.5-rolling-202406060020  Yes             Yes

There’s nothing that I can see under /mnt, but I’m not sure if that’s because the installation mounts it during the process?

The installer has been redone in the last year. Can you repeat the upgrade but do a reboot prior to „add system image“?

Side effects like from incomplete upgrades got recently addressed in the updater
