Hi,

Glad I could help.

Don’t though bank on this not reoccurring…. Its been an issue through the lifetime of 10.15, and tends to reoccur on OS or Xcode upgrades. I believe there is a bug somewhere in that Apple removes the CLT package receipts but not the CLT itself.

One fix is to completely remove the CLT. Its actually not really needed anymore - Just having Xcode installed is enough.

cheers Chris
