Actually, the original error said that r1 was being moved to a temp
directory (not removed); but I see now it was probably just to handle
errors during r2 install so it can roll back to r1 if necessary. So,
all good - I guess deleting the platforms directory is the best way to
handle this issue right now then. But I hope Google fixes this so
regular update works and we don't need to resort to hacks.
