We deleted the /tmp to clear for the upgrade after failure.  Did the CLI upgrade instead based on the documentation.

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise Security - Splunk Documentation

./splunk install app <path to app> -update 1 -auth <username>:<password>

Then we went the UI portion to finish the configuration.  Watch the usual logs. Restarted the web UI.

I just noticed the same type-28 error.  Before this occurred, were getting a "500 Internal Server" error. We are on Splunk 9.0.5

Waiting to hear back from Splunk support if they can resolve the UI install issue with ES 7.1.1

It appears the problem still around.  I am upgrading to 7.3.1 and still getting the error.  I had to use the CLI option to upgrade.
