This is a known bug in the updater script (ironically introduced by some code that was supposed to make it easier to recover from bugs in the updater script).

As of 2020-12-09, this is fixed in the nightlies.

Affected users will need to manually update the system using your original install method instead of the updater (make sure to add `--reinstall` and the same options you installed with originally if using the `kickstart.sh` or `kickstart-static64.sh` scripts, otherwise it will try to run the updater and run into a different issue caused by the same bug).
