Q: Why do I not have enough space to migrate from Aperture to Photos?

This article (HT204476):

 

Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support

 

says that "the Photos app creates a new library structure but doesn't duplicate your images".

 

If that is true, why does it say I have insufficient disk space to migrate from Aperture - I have 20G free space (to migrate an 88G library) but it says it needs another 38G. How can that be if it is not actually moving the photo images?

MacBook Air (13-inch Late 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
