      @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?:

                            This method does not solve the problem

                                        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.
