Hi OM,
I am not fully conversant with the internals of the macOS built in anti-virus
protection. When you download an unsigned application from an untrusted source,
i.e. the Internet, it will be flagged as quarantined the first time an attempt
to open it happens, this includes setting the quarantine extended attribute on
all application files. This is the action of the Gatekeeper service, i.e. the
lack of an "Open" button and a warning message unless you override by
Control+clicking to open the application
(https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202491) indicates this. Once you override
that, another sub-system kicks in called XProtect which virus scans the
application before finally allowing it to run. If XProtect detects malware (may
be a false positive) it moves the offending application content to
/private/var/something-or-other to quarantine it. If the application passes the
virus scan then XProtect removes the quarantine extended attributes from the
application files and it can run normally like any other application.
The messages you are seeing seems to be related to XProtect not finding the
files it is trying to move to quarantine. I think the problem maybe occurred
when you moved the old WSJT-X application. That shouldn't be an issue but it
seems to be so. How you clear up the mess I have no idea, but start by deleting
both of your WSJT-X applications and empty the Trash Can so they are really
gone. Then try installing again. BTW we have taken the WSJT-X v2.1.0 RC5 for
macOS off the project web site and Source Forge files area since it has some
major defects, we will publish an RC6 soon with fixes.

Thanks for the response, Bill.
I'll just wait for rc6 to be released.
