You may have installed something that uses the command line tools.

I don’t know if this is still current.

Thanks for this.

If the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools directory exists on your system, remove it to uninstall the command-line tools.

I removed this directory, rebooted computer and update still wants to be installed. It is 500MB.

There may be a receipt for it which is promulgating the update. I don’t know where the BOM’s are stored, so can’t offer any other suggestions.
