Update: Apparently the system upgrade has happened. The error happened during cleaning up things after the upgrade. I do not know if there are any leftovers from the transactional update on my disks, but things seem to work OK.
I have a one week old MICROOS/KDE installation. Everything works fine.
As I saw today that there are a number of updates, I tried to upgrade my system via “sudo pkcon upgrade-system” but unfortunately, the upgrade fails.
