Yes— this is a common problem...


Catalina not available for download

running Mojave 10.14.6.—trying to download Catalina, it is not showing up as a system update

From the Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app copy and paste:



sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored



(please note your psswd will not echo on screen—type it in anyway to proceed)
