More about this problem:

shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(args.prefix, f"craft-{args.branch}"))
# deleted some stack trace

------------------------------------------------
Could this be the result of Windows Explorer or its git gui somehow locking the
file? It seems a little odd the problem arose after many other packages
succeeded.
I was not running with admin rights.
===================================
Line 245 is near the end of the installation; it's trying to delete a directory
with the original craft code:
shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(args.prefix, f"craft-{args.branch}")).
The standard procedure creates that directory by pulling an archive file from
github and expanding it; I created it by copying from a local git repository of
craft (the copy used python's shutil not git clone--code below).
I notice that CraftRoot\craft-master\.git is missing many files, but that is
probably because its partly deleted. The file mentioned in the error message
is readable and bit-identical to the original.
I don't know if any of this matters, since I can't see how it would make a
difference. Having the directory open in explorer, which I did, still seems a
more likely cause of the problem.

My version of CraftSetup.py has
if args.localDev:
shutil.copytree(args.localDev, os.path.join(args.prefix,
f"craft-{args.branch}"))
print("Getting code from local {}".format(args.localDev))
else:
CraftBootstrap.downloadFile(f"https://github.com/KDE/craft/archive/{args.branch}.zip";,
os.path.join(args.prefix, "download"),
f"craft-{args.branch}.zip")
shutil.unpack_archive(os.path.join(args.prefix, "download",
f"craft-{args.branch}.zip"), args.prefix)
and took the first branch of the if.
