Since this is closed and getting lost in the swarm of other discussions, I made a new one for this quick and easy fix:

I also met this problem on Win10.

According to the warning information, I run Emacs by administrator account, and this problem is solved.

I had same problem on OSX 10.15.7 (19H2) Catalina. If I run spacemacs by clicking the icon on the dock that was exactly the problem I encounter, however if instead I run spacemacs by running emacs in the terminal then update is passing correctly and no problem with evil-unimpaired.
