=UTILITIES/= was renamed =util/=, and then has since been moved to
=mk/=.  The results I had seen seemed to indicate that it couldn't
find a script in UTILITIES/ so it could not continue (because it had
been renamed but was being looked for in the old location).

Running it a second time simply removed the confusion as to the
location of the files and permitted the update to continue without
issues.
