Monterey Update Error: The package "%@" is missing or invalid

I have a new M1 iMac 24" and tried to install the Monterey update today and after the download completed I got the following error: The package "%@" is missing or invalid



I went back in to Software Update and now my only option is to install an update for Big Sur. What happened??


iMac 24″, macOS 11.6

I rebooted the computer and retried the update and that was enough to fix the problem. I was able to then successfully install the update without having to boot into Safe Mode.
