    Yeah, similar to another question of late:

    I'm updating my wife's computer from Mojave to Catalina. Seems I've
    waited a couple of days to long. The only update available is now Big
    Sur.

    Can anyone supply a link to a Catalina update?

    This works for me:

    softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.15.7

    Managed to find it but clipping the first part of the link provided up
    stream and googling it:

    apps.apple.com/gb/app

    and added "catalina" to the search, found it, clicked on it and have
    begun the install. I now see, as it is doing it's installation, that
    it has "gb" in it. Is that likely to cause me problems?

    If so, how to recover from it?

    Seems to have worked out fine.
