Error missing field executionChainSpec line 114

I was getting a node updated and was following:

Running this via CLI on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for some time without issue prior.

I stopped my node, did basic system maintenance (update/upgrade/autoremove/clean/etc…) and rebooted prior to:

moving my ‘old’ subspace files into a folder. Then downloading the new release. Then beginning the process outlined in the link above.

I was able to wipe without issue. When I got to the second step, that’s when I got:

Error: SubstrateCli(Input(“Error parsing spec file: missing field executionChainSpec at line 114 column 1”))

I should note, that the only thing that I did different from the instructions - I did make the two files I downloaded from releases executable prior to using them. But I’m fairly sure that was implied?
