I am running Mountain Lion on Mac mini late 2012. I loaded El Captain from Apple Store and start the upgrade procedure. After a while the system rebooted and got a OS installation screen. After a while I got the message 'OS X could not be installed on your computer no packages were eligible for install' with a restart button, pressing 'Restart' the computer Restarted came age to the OS instillation screen and after few minutes - same message again.
