          @siman Fix for me was turning off automatic update check for Dashboard page.
          System --> Update --> Update Settings
          then checking below
          Dashboard check [checked it to disable] Disable the Dashboard auto-update check

                    @yon-0 I recieved this same error.

                    The fix for me was still turning off automatic update check for Dashboard page.
                    System --> Update --> Update Settings
                    then checking below
                    Dashboard check [checked to disable] Disable the Dashboard auto-update check

                              You tried resaving the repo branch as shown here?:

                                            It's in the system infomation widget on the dashboard or above the menu at the console. Or shown by running gnid at the CLI.
