Error in reading system analysis data

When running updatemanager I have the following error when it is close to the end of the data analysis. How can I workaround this?

Thanks

This particular error, though ugly, is harmless. There is a bug in the UM that causes it to display this error when there are no updates available.

You can pretend that instead of the error message UM is just saying "Your

system doesn't currently have any updates avaiable".

This was a late regression bug that crept in just before the release. We are very close to releasing an update that fixes this.
