No directory found in specified location

Question

while working on the patch upgrade Confluence Update 7.19.8 to 7.19.16 to fix one major vulnerable, we found the installer asking for the existing installation directory and it's picking up a wrong directory, then it's failing with the error  "No directory found in specified location".

We have tried to change the HOME directory in the .bash_profile to the correct confluence home /var/atlassian/application-data

export HOME=/var/atlassian/application-data

export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

echo $HOME

We re-tried the upgrade again using confluence user but we got the same issue again. It's pending with the Atlassian team as it's happened in a lower environment. Do we have any way to fix this?
