# 6.1 RC2 – WP-CLI error message

 * I don’t know if this matters to anyone, but I get a Warning when updating from
   RC1 to RC2. Updated successfully, but I guess I need to do some manual cleanup
   now?
 * Here is my session showing the Warning:
 *     ```
       [me@server255 ~]$ wp cli version
       WP-CLI 2.6.0
       [me@server255 ~]$ wp core update --version=6.1-RC2 --path=/home/me/public_html/
       Updating to version 6.1-RC2 (en_US)...
       Downloading update from https://wordpress.org/wordpress-6.1-RC2.zip...
       Unpacking the update...
       Warning: Checksums not available for WordPress 6.1-RC1-54541/en_US. Please cleanup files manually.
       Success: WordPress updated successfully.
       [me@server255 ~]$
       ```

 * If I’m not mistaken this issue from 2019 (!) seems to be related: [https://github.com/wp-cli/core-command/issues/141](https://github.com/wp-cli/core-command/issues/141)
 * So there’s an issue logged, but no fix yet.

 * [@ramonopoly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ramonopoly/): Thanks for looking
   at this! That sure does look like the same issue. Should I be posting something
   in that thread?
 * Just to clarify, using WP-CLI to update from 6.0.2 to 6.1-RC1 did successfully
   clean up 15 files. Using the same procedure to update from 6.1-RC1 to RC2 is 
   what produced the warning message `Warning: Checksums not available for WordPress
   6.1-RC1-54541/en_US. Please cleanup files manually.`
 * So I don’t have time to dig through my installation to figure out if any files
   need to be removed. I had planned to run the upgrade to RC3 and then to the mainstream
   6.1 release when available. Now I may abandon WP-CLI and just bite the bullet
   on a fresh installation from the zip file when the time comes. Do you have any
   recommendation?
 * Thanks again!

 * I’d say it wouldn’t hurt. Maybe it will usher things along 🙂

 * Not really, sorry. I’m the type to nuke everything when I want a clean start,
   so maybe your idea is the cleanest.
 * Thanks for follow it up though!
