Public bug reported: This is my first time reporting a bug, if there is one. I know I am probably doing it wrong. I looked up this problem and couldn't find anything that worked. It's probably a simple thing as well, right, lol! Anyway, I keep getting this error after loading anything or doing any updates. Everything appears to work fine, other than this popping up after each install or change.
